Subject: City of Ames 427E Industrial Abatement
Bob,
The City of Ames is in the process of renewing our Industrial Abatement Ordinance per 427E of the Iowa Code. Diane
looked back and found that we had used different numbers of years when we have adopted these ordinances, the last
being 10 years. It looks to me that Cities are still required to set a length of time that the ordinance is effective. We'd
like to know if you know of any strategies for setting a longer or shorter term or is it purely a council decision on
supporting economic development.
Thanks,
Duane
