TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (WBRC) - The executive director for the Tuscaloosa County Economic Development Authority said it made good business sense to give Mercedes parts supplier SMP several hundred thousand dollars in tax breaks over time.
“SMP started in 2015 when they announced they were going to locate in Tuscaloosa County and since that time, they have met and even exceeded their goals in terms of employment and investment,” Danielle Winningham, executive director of the Tuscaloosa County Economic Development Authority, said.
