Officials with tax office said the business has until Nov. 13 to pay the real estate taxes owed or risk the property being put up for sale by the county. The personal property tax owed would be handled by the Wood County Assessor’s Office and the state.
“Cash has been utilized for more current needs, such as labor and material costs, and we are continuing to work on restructuring”said George Fenton, president of Fenton Art Glass.
Wow, so we are going to sell Fenton to pay for HINO. I would think with all the breaks that Toyota was given there ought to be something that Wood County can do for Fenton, other than sell their facility to the highest bidder. Sure wouldn't want this to happen on my watch if I were an Elected Official. Not a real resume builder or something that folks forget easily.
I will be posting more on this tragedy as it develops.
