Michelin North America has committed to investing an additional $100 million in the company’s Greenville County facilities throughout the next seven years, a spokesperson said on Wednesday, Nov. 3.
In addition, the company extended its 2012 fee-in-lieu-of-tax agreement with Greenville County. FILOT agreements allow companies to pay a certain amount to the county instead of taxes. Its property tax reduction will be extended for 10 more years, as will special source credits.

The spokesperson went on to say that the actions completed by Michelin and Greenville County were to simplify previous tax agreements with the county, adding that the contribution to the county would not change.
