I [[honestly) wonder how the tax benefits of the affected properties [[1,400 homes and 140 businesses) compare to what the plant generates. Industrial taxes are high [[due to high value of the property and machinery), so I'm pretty sure it wouldn't even compare. On the other hand, it is difficult to place a value on a vibrant neighborhood, and the plant certainly isn't keeping city residents employed [[Ham or Det).
