Mathis Field Terminal

Highways San Angelo is served by three U.S. Highways: 67, 87, 277 . Located between Interstate Highways 10 and 20, San Angelo is 1 hour and 1 ½ respectively from each. Current highway improvement projects are underway to connect the Interstate Highways with 4-lane access. U.S Highway 277 is San Angelo’s closest connection to Mexico – a distance of 155 miles to the border crossing at Del Rio and Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila. The highway traffic in west central Texas is light, and the four lane divided highways and two lane highways with full shoulders provide easy and safe travel.

Ports-to-Plains The Ports-to-Plains Trade Corridor is a planned, multimodal transportation corridor including a multi-lane divided highway that will facilitate the efficient transportation of goods and services from Mexico, through West Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, and Oklahoma, and ultimately on into Canada and the Pacific Northwest.

4

Together, the communities along the Ports-to-Plains Trade Corridor are becoming the Gateway to trade throughout the nation and with Mexico and Canada. The Ports-to-Plains Trade Corridor will provide a vast number of benefits for communities along the corridor. The Trade Corridor will allow for the development of less congested ports of entry along the Texas/Mexico border. In addition, it will provide alternatives to other congested corridors that run through major metropolitan areas. In doing so, the trade between Mexico, Canada, and the United States will continue to dramatically increase and all three nations will continue to see a rise in their regional mobility and economic status.

INCENTIVES

Tax Abatements The City of San Angelo and Tom Green County may provide personal property and real estate tax abatements for periods of 5 to 7 years. Abatement levels range from 20% to 75% and are determined by the number of new jobs created and/or the amount of new investment in the community. All companies receiving the abatements must meet the minimum job creation level of 5 new jobs and no less than $250,000 in new valuation in either real estate and/or personal property. Please note that tax abatements and rebates may exceed the percentages shown but must be considered on a case by case basis. Businesses eligible for the tax abatements are manufacturing, warehousing/distribution centers, home/regional administrative offices, data processing centers, and telecommunications services. Tax abatements are not automatic; applications must be made to both the City Council and County Commissioner’s Court.

Inventory Tax Exemptions All three taxing districts within San Angelo (City, County, and the San Angelo Independent School District) may provide 100% tax exemptions for inventory and work-in-process that will be shipped outside of the state of Texas and kept on site for less than 175 days. San Angelo is one of the few cities in Texas where all three taxing districts provide this incentive. Application must be made annually by contacting Mr. Bill Benson, Chief Appraiser, Tom Green County Appraisal District, at (325) 658-5575.

Tom Green County/San Angelo Enterprise Zone The Zone was created by the Texas Department of Economic Development in 1996, and renewed in September of 2003. Unlike the local tax abatement program, all businesses are eligible for designation as a “project.” However, there are a limited number of projects selected state-wide, so job creation and job quality are important considerations for each project.

Companies that are approved as designated projects within the zone are eligible for sales tax refunds of up to $2,000 per new employee over the 5 year period. The total amount of tax refunds is capped at $1,250,000 per company over the 5 years. An additional advantage to the program is a refund of state franchise taxes paid. The company receiving the benefits of the program must agree to hire 25% of their new employees from within the zone.

Sales Tax for Economic Development San Angelo voters have approved a 1/2 cent increase in the sales tax for community and economic development projects. The San Angelo Development Corporation has established priorities for manufacturing, warehousing/distribution, telecommunications services, data processing, and home/regional offices. Loans and grants are available for buildings, land, equipment, training, site infrastructure, moving expenses, lease subsidies, and other expansion costs. The minimum job and investment thresholds are 5 new jobs and $125,000 in new investment. Job retention may also be considered. The project must meet state mandated NAICS Codes and “a definition of primary employees.” Depending upon the wages and types of jobs created, the Development Corporation may provide assistance from $1,000 to $5,000/new job. High skill- high wage jobs may carry a higher incentive level. New and existing companies are eligible.

Industrial District Designation A company that wishes to locate outside of the city limits of San Angelo and still avail themselves of city services, may apply to the City for designation as an industrial district, with the expectation that they will be annexed at some future date. These agreements typically last for 7 years, but may be extended. During this period of time they are outside of the city limits, the company does not pay city personal property tax (inventory and equipment), but they do pay a negotiated percentage of real estate tax they would normally pay. Past agreements were 10% in year one, 20% in year two, etc. The cost of services that the company wishes to obtain from the City are negotiated. An industrial district in San Angelo is located

in the Northeast part of the city and includes companies like Ethicon and Coverlay in the Chaparral Commercial Center.

Major investments over the past two years have included the Museum of Fine Arts, the San Angelo Visitors Center, and the new YMCA. Kids Kingdom is a strong attraction for young families and their children. Continued emphasis on riverfront development is a key to downtown Development. Additional 1⁄2 cent sales tax dollars will be spent improving the riverfront in San Angelo, and at the nearby Fort Concho Historic Site.
