Authorize "aerotropolis" corporate tax breaks and subsidies

Introduced in the Senate

Introduced by Sen. Hansen Clarke (D-1)

To revise the “local development financing act” to accommodate the new type of entities proposed by Senate Bill 1083, “next Michigan development corporations," which empower certain government officials and appointees to grant extensive tax breaks and subsidies to select businesses near airports, particularly Willow Run and Detroit Metro airports in Wayne County (the "aerotropolis").

Referred to the Committee on Commerce and Tourism
