$6 million EP Graphics expansion gets abatement

Decatur Daily Democrat:

With two of its five members absent, Berne City Council conducted only a portion of its planned business Monday evening, while postponing other actions until the full body is present.

Two planned public hearings went ahead as scheduled, including a session to accept comment on a proposal to establish an Economic Revitalization Area at EP Graphics as part of a 10-year tax abatement request.

Tyler Kitt, chief executive officer at EP Graphics, was present at the April 9 council meeting to announce the company's planned $6 million expansion and renovation project that he said would add 10 jobs to the current 70-member workforce.
