CC Board of Education
Approves Tax Abatement
Following the lead of the Crawford County Commission

meeting, approved a Tax Abatement for a new company
which may locate in the county, requested by the Develop

system would receive $30,000 due to the penalties of taking

In other business, the board amended the intergovernmen
