Deputy State’s Attorney Jim Taylor presented the Davison County Commission with a proposal on this date in 2007 to revive a TIF for rebuilding the road to the Poet Biorefining plant from Highway 37 to Loomis. The new TIF district would not only pay back the $1.059 million for the first phase of construction, but also the final paving on the road.
