BACKGROUND: Resolution 0088X-2007, adopted June 4, 2007, supported the continuation of the Columbus Downtown Office Incentive Program (DOI) as one of the development tools needed to implement the Downtown Business Plan. This legislation authorizes the payments to employers who have met the requirements of their Downtown Office Incentive Program agreement.

For tax year 2014, the City of Columbus had a total of ten (10) active and reporting DOI projects for which employers have met the requirements of their DOI agreements and thus are eligible to receive their payments for 2014. The total dollar amount to be disbursed for these ten (10) 2014 DOI payments is $778,099.01. The ten (10) projects with the DOI payment subtotals are as follows: (1) $11,320.13 to Dynamit Technologies, LLC; (2) $8,117.58 to Exel Inc.; (3) $232,166.79 to Hexion Inc.; (4) $76,523.10 to Lancaster Pollard & Co.; (5) $4,468.55 to Office of the Chapter 13 Trustee Faye D.
