Tax Changes Are Passed RALEIGH - Senate Bill 1241, distillery tax credit changes that #ill create an ethanol industry and enhance production of corn in North Carolina, has passed the North Carolina General Assembly on the final day of the legislative session. The new law. introduced by Sen. Harold Hardison of Lenoir County, will become effective January 1, 1988. The law. which drew strong sup port from both the Corngrowers Association and the North Carolina Farm Bureau, provides a 20 percent tax credit for the con struction of an ethanol production Jacility. Location of the new plant, 3is yet undecided, will most likely "be in the eastern part of the state .pnd employ 175 people. The ethanol facility will immediately generate $60 to $75 million in con struction costs into the North ^Carolina economy. Ted Ivey, president of the Cor ngrowers Association of North ^Carolina, praised Sen. Hardison "&nd the legislative leadership for Jheir role and said the ethanol ^distillery plant will be a boon for "family farms in the state. * ‘There are 25,000 farm families whose income depend on the pro duction of corn. This new plant Jwill eventually use 25 million Jmphels of corn per year. Methods $re now under study that would hven allow the plant to safely use drought-stressed alfa toxin tainted horn, which in the past has caus «d great monetary loss to cor ngrowers,” Ivey said. » “Sen. Hardison’s efforts, the work of Representative John Kerr and Senator Henson Barnes, both Democrats from Wayne County, and Vernon James, D Pasquotank, as well as the leader ship of the House and Senate, were instrumental in gaining passage of this important legisla tion,” Ivey said. Proponents of the ethanol in dustry say that ethanol enhanced fuels burn cleaner and will help reduce the dependence on foreign imported oil. Approximately 50 million gallons of ethanol are cur rently being shipped annually in to North Carolina. North Carolina production of ethanol is expected to greatly reduce that amount.
