The Mahoning County Tax Incentive Review Council recently voted to "withhold recommending to the Mahoning County Board of Commissioners to continue abatements" for InfoCision Management Corp. in Austintown and Simon Roofing in Youngstown, The Business Journal reports. The council did approve abatements for five companies, but "in both cases where the council held off endorsing continuing the abatements, the companies involved fell short on either meeting employment or investment projections, but exceeded the projection in the other measure." Simon Roofing received a 10-year, 60 percent tax abatement, but has added only 13 of the projected 25 jobs. InfoCision has "created 95 more jobs at its Austintown call center than projected after six years," but the company's total investment has been only $4.47 million, which "falls below the $5.25 million to $6.13 million projected," the article said.
