What happened
Govina Inc.'s attorney told council the company's reported headcount of 152 employees came from counting every W-2 issued over several months rather than a true snapshot — the real average is 62 workers, close to what the company originally promised. Explanation, 8:40
Council voted to approve the corrected compliance form and let Govina's tax abatement continue. Vote, 10:15
Who it affects
If you live in Vigo County, this matters because it keeps a local company's property tax abatement active — the council found the shortfall was a reporting error rather than a missed job commitment.
The outcome
Approved unanimously by voice vote.
