Fort Worth<\/a> officials approved tax breaks for Harting Connectivity<\/a> to build a $192.7 million manufacturing plant that could bring at least 700 jobs to the city.<\/p>\n

The Fort Worth City Council voted Tuesday to offer Harting a 10-year tax abatement of up to 65% on of incremental city taxes on real and business personal property if the company locates its 700,000-square-foot manufacturing facility and U.S. headquarters at Carter Crossing<\/a>, a large industrial park south of the city. City officials estimate the tax breaks are worth $6 million.<\/p>\n

The firm would invest nearly $193 million in the new plant by the end of 2028, and at least 700 jobs would be created by 2034. The jobs would pay an average wage of $87,000. Harting would be subject to annual capital investment and job requirements. If the company fails to meet the benchmarks, it forgoes the incentive for the year, Fort Worth officials said.<\/p>\n

Germany-based Harting manufactures custom cables, switches and connectors used to transmit data and power. Its products are used in data centers, robotics, rail and transportation, and renewable energy.<\/p>\n

The company has not officially selected Fort Worth for the new development. Other east coast locations are being considered, according to the Fort Worth Report.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Harting is evaluating multiple locations for a potential new manufacturing site as part of our continued investment in North America. This process reflects our long-term strategy to expand localized manufacturing and strengthen our ability to serve industrial customers across North and Latin America,” the company said in a statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fort Worth officials approved tax breaks for Harting Connectivity to build a $192.7 million manufacturing plant that could…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":453690,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[116,118,117,88643],"class_list":["post-453689","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth-headlines","tag-fort-worth-news","tag-tp-fort-worth"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453689","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=453689"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453689\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/453690"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=453689"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=453689"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=453689"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
