PLYMOUTH — Plymouth City Attorney Jeff Houin presented the Plymouth Common Council with an amended request to amend the project list for the Oak Road/US 30 TIF district.
At the Council’s last meeting, Houin presented the request with a substantial donation to the Marshall County Career Innovation Center to help pay for fixtures in the new Center that will provide career courses in such fields as early childhood education, culinary arts, and precision machining.
The Council was unwilling to pass the resolution stating that they had already pledged a significant sum and felt the schools had a larger tax base than the city and should find another way to fund the project.
The plan included the money to hire an outside contractor, enFocus, to oversee contracts and help with grant requests.
The company has already done grant work for the city and would help to prepare project applications.
The contract would be through 2025 at a total of $66,000.
The Council voted 5-2 to accept the changes and the matter will now have a public hearing during the next Redevelopment meeting.
