CU Takes Up City on Tax Break Offer

American 1 Federal Credit Union has become the first business to take advantage of tax abatements offered to companies located within commercial rehabilitation districts in Hillsdale, Mich.

The City Council last week approved an application for a $21,400 property tax abatement in exchange for a branch expansion planned later this month. The agreement exempts the branch from a portion of the property taxes levied over the next eight years because of the renovations.
