ALBION â The Noble County Council made what it hopes is a rare exception to its tax abatement rules Monday, allowing a rural Kendallville company to claim a tax break despite running afoul of the countyâs guidelines.
KSN Kammerer LLC had been seeking a $700,000 five-year tax abatement on a 20,000-square foot addition.
The company had already begun construction before going to the council. Current rules set by the council allow an abatement on new construction only if the company has not yet broken ground on the project.
âThey did not know about the abatement process,â said Matt Brinkman, of Region III-A.

Those words were on a sign in the house where Doug Keenan grew up.
âThatâs always been on my mind,â he said of that saying.

And despite retiring after 30 years as Noble County Purdue Extension educator at the end of this month, Keenan is going to keep on with that life philosophy as he becomes a family life skills coach at the Bowen Center.
âIâll get to help people,â Keenan said. âWhat gets better than that? Nothing.â
