Proposed Constitutional Amendment adds an exemption from ad valorem taxation for property that is subject to a cooperative endeavor agreement between the owner and one or more taxing authorities which requires the property owner to make payments in lieu of taxes. Further provides that property eligible for the exemption shall be limited to a new manufacturing establishment or an addition to an existing manufacturing establishment.
