Open government?
Blount County officials will not disclose the details of their deal with Denso and its pending $185M expansion:
Blount County economic developers have declined to release details of incentives offered to Denso Manufacturing Tennessee for the company’s $185 million expansion in Maryville, even though those incentives are funded by tax dollars.
The refusal comes on the heels of controversy over another incentive package, a nearly $200 million deal that lured Nissan’s headquarters to the Nashville area.
Blount officials say they can’t disclose promises made to Denso until a Blount County Economic Development Board meeting Dec. 21.
So, why the refusal?
