Council fixes a paperwork mix-up and keeps Govina Inc.'s tax abatement active
Who it touches: If you live in Vigo County, this matters because it keeps a local company's property tax abatement active — the council found the shortfall was a reporting error rather than a missed job commitment.
Govina Inc.'s attorney told council the company's reported headcount of 152 employees came from counting every W-2 issued over several months rather than a true snapshot — the real average is 62 workers, close to what the company originally promised. 0:08:40 — open the recording, cued to 8 minutes 40 seconds
