As part of a contract with CSM Bakery, the GOED Board of Directors has approved up to a maximum tax credit of $313,524 in the form of a post-performance Economic Development Tax Increment Finance (EDTIF) incentive, which is 20 percent of the new state taxes CSM Bakery will pay over the six-year life of the agreement. Each year as CSM Bakery meets the criteria in its contract with the state, it will earn a portion of the total tax credit incentive.
