The Metropolitan Development Commission granted the abatement on Wednesday to Arcamed Inc., which is ramping up to design and manufacture titanium and stainless steel case-tray systems for surgical instruments.
The company plans to lease 15,000 square feet in the Park Fletcher industrial park on the city’s southwest side and invest $1.4 million in equipment to begin production.
MDC recommended an eight-year abatement to help offset the cost of equipment. Arcamed is expected to save about $91,000 during that time and pay $56,867 in property taxes related to the equipment.
Arcamed said the jobs will pay an average hourly wage of $15.56.
