| | | | | | | | BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Adopt a Resolution Revoking the Industrial Facilities Exemption Certificate for Lycera, Inc., Resolution #21-16 |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND:
On February 22, 2017, the Board of Trustees approved Lycera, Inc. 1350 Highland Drive, Ann Arbor MI 48108 for an Industrial Facilities Exemption Certificate in the amount of $2,957,155 for real property and $259,000 for personal property for ten (10) years. The Township discovered in March 2021 that Lycera, Inc. has ceased operations in Pittsfield on August 1, 2020, thereby failing to comply with the terms of the agreement with the Township for an Industrial Facilities Exemption Certificate. We are requesting that certificate #2017-063 be revoked by the State Tax Commission per MCL 207.565(2), because Lycera, Inc. at 1350 Highland Drive, Ann Arbor MI 48108, has failed to proceed in good faith with the operation of the facility with respect to real and personal property. |
