The Haverhill City Council gave its okay this week for the city to negotiate a property tax break to bring Edwards Vacuum to Haverhill’s Broadway Industrial Park. The company, which said previously it will move 200 existing employees here and add 50 new jobs, plans to complete a 121,800-square-foot “innovation and solutions center” by early next year. Haverhill Economic Development and Planning Director William Pillsbury Jr. explained how the tax increment financing plan would work. “So what we’re here for tonight is to ask for the passage of the resolution to authorize the mayor to move forward with the TIF. The TIF will be very similar to ones we have done for other industries. It will be a five-year term and it be an opportunity to see this company come to Haverhill and plant its roots here and, we believe, be with us for a very long time,” he said.
