Merrillville to Consider Abatement Request for Office Development

From the Northwest Indiana Times:

The Town Council has designated AmeriPlex at the Crossroads as an economic revitalization area.
Town Administrator Howard Fink said the designation was needed before the council could consider approving 10-year real estate and personal property tax abatement for a project to build a 20,000-square-foot office in the development near 101st Avenue and Broadway.

Holladay Properties would build the facility, which would be rented by Horizon Financial Management, a Merrillville company that provides billing and practice management services to health care providers across the country.

Horizon currently operates from six suites in the Chase building at 8585 Broadway, but more space is needed for the growing business, said Frank Termini, managing partner at Horizon.

The council could consider approving the tax abatement request during its Dec. 11 meeting.
