Hiland Dairy Being Considered For Tax Abatements From Tyler, Smith County

Hiland Dairy Foods Co. is being considered for five and a half years of tax abatements for an expansion it’s planning just outside of downtown Tyler.

The company is planning to invest $45 million into expanding its facility near East Locust Street and more than double its workforce from 74 to 154.

The Tyler Economic Development Council is recommending the company not pay property taxes on the expansion to the city of Tyler, Smith County and Tyler Junior College for several years.
