Tax Abatements

Cleveland officials say the jury's out on the future of residential tax abatements. But, it looks like one segment of the jury just came back... "What makes Cleveland attractive is that because of the abatement people can buy more house for their money than they can any place else."

We'll find out how Cleveland and the region have benefited from people not paying taxes, and we'll examine pitfalls that still exist.Mark Rosentraub, Dean, CSU/Levin College of Urban Affairs; Joe Cimperman, City Council member; Nate Coffman, Executive director Cleveland Homebuilders Association; Tasha Flournoy, WCPN; Jim Rokakis, Cuyahoga County Treasurer
