The Austin City Council voiced their support for a 15-year tax abatement request from Hormel Foods to aid in the construction of a $5 million child care facility. During Monday evening’s regular meeting, a Hormel Foods spokesperson told the council that the the more than 13,000 square foot childcare center would also create nearly 24 full-time jobs. Hormel said they hope to break ground for the facility in April. The council will hold a public hearing on the tax abatement request from Hormel Foods at their regularly scheduled meeting on March 6.
