The Dalles City Council approved a five-year extended enterprise zone tax abatement for a carbon sequestration company working on new technology in The Dalles.  280 Earth has already constructed a 500-ton test facility on River Trail Way at the Port of The Dalles, and is looking to construct a 5,000-ton production module on the same parcel.  City Economic Development Officer Dan Spatz says the company sought the tax abatement to help offset the cost of carbon transport to Wyoming and show its investor base there is community support for the company in The Dalles.  The abatement would only be for improvements to the parcel, and not for the land itself.  280 Earth is a spin-out from Google, but Google is no longer an investor in the project.
