Journal-Gazette Reports Abatements Sought by Two Fort Wayne Companies

From the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette:


Two Fort Wayne companies intend to invest a combined $2.2 million and create 11 full- and part-time jobs, according to paperwork filed with city officials.

BioScan wants to make $1.5 million in improvements at a 4,000-square-foot building at 2050 E. Dupont Road. The company is a diagnostic imaging services business. BioScan is seeking a 10-year tax abatement that would save $121,621.

Highmark Technologies plans to build an 11,500-square-foot manufacturing and warehouse complex at 8320 Clinton Park Drive. The company makes aluminum structures used in trade show exhibits and other events. It is seeking a 10-year abatement that would save $92,877.

Both projects will be introduced to the City Council on Tuesday.
