(KNZA)--The Doniphan County Commission has extended the county's Neighborhood Revitalization Plan for an additional five years as of January 1st.

The Commission took the action when they meet Friday following a hearing drawing no public comment.

The program, which has been in place since 1995, offers a tax rebate over a ten-year period for qualified improvements to a property that increase the appraised value at least $5,000.

Individuals and companies participating in the program must file an application with the Appraiser- office. The appraiser makes a recommendation on the application, and if approved, starts the process of issuing refunds on the project.
