The Butler Economic Development Commission (EDC) is responsible for reviewing petitions for Economic Revitalization Area designations and Economic Development Target Area designations. This designation is the first step for a real estate or personal property tax abatement. The EDC makes a recommendation to the Common Council concerning both said designation and the term of the proposed tax abatement.
The EDC meets on an as-need basis, upon proper notification of public meetings per IC 5-3-1. These meetings are open to the public.
