Companies Could See Tax Breaks Yanked

Communities all over the country are taking back the property and other tax breaks they offered businesses to locate there, according to the watchdog group Good Jobs First.

In DeKalb, Ill., when Target Corp. came up 66 jobs short of the agreement to waive taxes, the taxing bodies sent the company an unexpected $600,000 tax bill.

In St. Louis County, Mo., officials warned Pfizer Inc. that if it follows through on its plan to cut 600 jobs, the county will rethink the $7 million in tax breaks it promised.

While no one collects data on these “clawbacks,” it’s clear that the latest offers communities are making to woo businesses are being strongly worded. “There is much more (language) tied to jobs now because of economy,” says Lee Garrity, city manager in Winston-Salem, N.C.
