The window will soon be closed for businesses interested in applying for The Dalles-Wasco County Enterprise Zone.  Enterprise Zones provide property tax abatements to promote economic development in economically depressed areas.  Eligible businesses are those engaged in manufacturing or are a hotel/resort, call center, or e-commerce.  Agreements range from a standard of three years, an extended term of four to five years, to a negotiated long-term of up to 15 years.  Agreements for the long-term abatements must be signed by June 30 of this year to be eligible, while paperwork for the standard and extended abatements must be submitted by June 30, 2018.
