Ellis County Commissioners saved their most impactful agenda item for the end on Tuesday afternoon during their regular bi-weekly meeting, as they conducted a public hearing on the county’s portion of a tax abatement for a major new industrial operation.
County Judge Todd Little said a vote on approval will be conducted during the Commissioners’ Court’s May 4 meeting. The Midlothian City Council was expected to conduct a similar hearing and a vote during its Tuesday night regular meeting.
The abatement would cover a tax investment reinvestment zone, or TIRZ, created recently by the city of Midlothian for an approximately 30-acre lot at the southeast corner of Power Way and Brookhollow Drive in the RailPort Business Park.
