Area Property Taxes Low and Stable

February 1, 1999

A key consideration in business location decisions is the overall quality of local governments. When a business makes a substantial investment in a metropolitan area, it wants assurance for the business itself, as well as for its employees, that schools, public safety, transportation, recreation, libraries and other local services will be maintained at quality levels. It also wants to know that taxes are stable and reasonable relative to services.
