City and chamber
discuss Freeport
By VETO F. ROLEY
Staff Writer
Members of the Perry Area
Chamber of Commerce came before
the Perry City Council during their
regular meeting June 7 to request
that the city raise its freepon tax
exemption to 100 percent
Freepon taxes are taxes that a
business or industry pays for goods
and other materials in inventory.
Currently, Perry exempts 20 per
cent of a company’s inventory from
freepon taxes. Increasing the ex
emption to 100 percent would ex
empt all of a company's inventory
from freepon taxes.
'Perry and Houston County are
in the minority of taxing districts
in the state of Georgia that have not
adopted an 100 percent freepon ex

chairman of the chamber’s existing
industry committee, reading from a

chamber believes that the current
freepon status places the City of
Perry and Houston County at a crit

'We don’t even make the first
cut (for industries looking to locate
in Houston County ).’ said chamber
chairman John Sundquist. 'lf an in
dustry is looking for a place to put
a distribution center, our county is
not even presented to that industry
(because of freeport)."
Sundquist said that the Georgia
industrial development office had a
checklist of potential industrial
sites. For distribution centers, 'any
county is eliminated that has any
kind of freeport," he said.'We
would at least want the county to
make the first cut.’
Perry and Houston County could
also be losing jobs from existing
industries because of the freepon
status, said Sundquist. He said that
many companies were establishing

counties that did not have 100 per-
