2026 Tax Abatement Policy

Conroe

Summary

The biennial renewal of the tax abatement policy keeps incentive authority as an economic development tool, though the board leans toward performance-based cash incentives. Directors flagged that the $15/hour, 1,560-hour job definition is too low and that "downtown" should cover all six districts, not just the central business district.
