Company Clears First Incentive Hurdle; Could Add 200 Jobs to Tyler
Posted/updated on: April 12, 2013 at 1:12 pmTYLER — The Tyler City Council has approved an incentive package for the Italian company Tazza Pronto — tossing in some incentives of its own. Tyler Economic Development Council chief Tom Mullins says the company’s been looking in Seattle, Kentucky, and Tyler. If it chooses Tyler, it will partner with Distant Lands Coffee on a popular single-serve product, operating in the old Carrier plant. Next up: submission for approval next week by county commissioners and TJC trustees. Mullins remains confident the deal will go through; he says Tazza Pronto could start up operations in Tyler later this year, bringing in up to 200 jobs within three to five years.
