Butler County Trade Center tax incentive deal
G&W Products, a metal fabricator making Humvee and HIMARS parts, is adding 17,000 square feet at its Seward Road plant with a 5-year, 70% property tax abatement. The company keeps 194 jobs and adds at least 10 more, while compensating the school district during the abatement.
