Macon-Bibb Commissioners Reluctantly OK New Kumho Deal
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2014
Still smarting from the Bibb County school board’s reworking of a proposed contract that’s key to Kumho Tire building a tire plant here, the Macon-Bibb County Commission begrudgingly agreed to a plan that gives the school board more money.
Commissioners had previously approved a deal that would have equally split Kumho’s $27 million in payments over 20 years -- which would be in lieu of taxes -- among the commission, school board and Industrial Authority.
