BATON ROUGE – ExxonMobil’s quest for a tax break tied to a possible modernization of its local refinery was not sidelined by the EBR school board Thursday.
The board approved the tax break – known as ITEP.
In January, the Louisiana Board of Commerce and Industry backed the tax break. The EBR Metro Council will have to decide on the tax break next. The sheriff already approved it.
Exxon wants the tax breaks to compete for a quarter-of-a-billion dollar project to upgrade the refinery and make the facility more viable for the current business climate.

BATON ROUGE - Tax breaks for upgrades at ExxonMobil s Baton Rouge refinery cleared a major hurdle Friday.
The State Board of Commerce and Industry signed off on a tax break which Exxon says is needed for the quarter-billion-dollar project.
Exxon wants to bring its plant up to 2021 standards, making it competitive globally. This project helps us to retain the hundreds of jobs in Baton Rouge. When we retain jobs for the hundreds of direct employees that work at our refinery, that means we re always hiring, Gloria Moncada, refinery manager for ExxonMobil Baton Rouge said.
