Fee in place of tax agreements

The company Borg Warner is in an expansion frame of mind at Seneca.  And last night Oconee County Council gave preliminary approval to a change in its fee in lieu of tax agreement with the company.  Officials say the expansion pertains to the Borg Warner’s operations on the Wells Highway and is unrelated to a planned Borg Warner warehouse in the SenecaCommercePark, formerly the Prop Pex building on Shiloh Road.  The council last night also gave second reading to a FILOT agreement with Greenfield Industries on highway 123.  Construction is underway to make Oconee’s Greenfield the location of the Chinese company TDC Cutting Tools’ overseas international headquarters.
