(KNOX) – The Grand Forks City Council preliminarily approved a five year, 100 percent business property tax incentive for Cirrus Aircraft. Cirrus is planning to go forward with the second phase of an expansion project that features a 50,000 square foot expansion and 13 new staff members. The vote passed 6-1, with Councilwoman Rebecca Osowski voting against. She says she doesn’t want to give Cirrus tax breaks because of its relationship and ties with China, but also explains there’s more to her vote.
Last year, the council approved a 10 year, 100 percent tax incentive for an earlier expansion.
