An incentive package going before the Hamilton County Commission next week would spur the creation of 90 new jobs in East Ridge that pay an average $48,800 per year.

The commission will vote next Wednesday on a five-year tax break for Textile Printing Co. through a payment in lieu of taxes agreement, which allows the company to be relieved of general purpose property taxes and business taxes for a certain time period to reward the investment in economic growth. The deal will not cover tax money collected to fund the school system.

The company plans to make a $21 million investment in its East Ridge operations and will be adding a 60,000-square-foot building next to its existing 150,000-square-foot facility on Ringgold Road.

Hamilton County Mayor Weston Wamp said he inherited the proposal after he came into office Sept. 1 and the tax incentive is unique because it’s occurring in another municipality outside Chattanooga.
