There will be a public hearing and a final vote on a proposed five-year tax abatement for a building in an office complex at 1365 Chews Landing-Clementon Road.

The five-year abatement would be on the improvements only, and not the land. Chews Landing would pay nothing the first year, followed by 30 percent of their taxes the second year; 50 percent the third; 70 percent the fourth; and 90 percent the fifth year.
