(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission will consider renewal of the county's Neighborhood Revitalization Plan next month.

The Commission Monday approved a resolution setting a public hearing on the plan for April 29th at 9:00 in the morning in the Commissioner’s room.   

The Commission has agreed to go with a 10-year plan versus the current five-year plan to save the paperwork required in having it renewed every five years. 

The plan will continue to offer a 75 percent property tax rebate for a five year period for new construction or improvements to residential, agricultural, commercial or industrial property that results in at least a $15,000 increase in the property’s appraised value.

The current plan has expired and the new plan will be retroactive to January 1st of this year.
