Spartanburg County Council to meet today to discuss incentives for BMW suppliers

Council will consider adopting a resolution and giving first reading to an ordinance that would enter the county into a fee-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement with Eaton Corp. The Cleveland-based manufacturer is looking to add 120,000 square feet to its distribution facility in Duncan.

Eaton's current facility is 180,000 square feet, and it employs 115 workers.

The company's production plant in Clinton, Mich., produces air conditioning lines for Spartanburg-based BMW Manufacturing Co.

Before considering second reading of an agreement with Fehrer Automotive North America, council will hold a hearing to give the public the opportunity to comment.

The company has said it is not prepared to comment on the project, but council documents show the incentives are for a new facility that will be in a multi-county industrial park. The incentives include job-source revenue credits.

Council will hold another public hearing on authorization of an incentives agreement for DAA Draexlmaier Automotive of America, which said in June it will spend an additional $12 million beyond a $10 million investment announced earlier to expand its U.S. headquarters plant in Duncan and create 50 jobs during the next five years.

The company produces premium interior and plastic injection molding components for BMW, General Motors and Volkswagen.
