| Abstract: | The purpose of this paper is to outline a recently developed environmental management tool, the environmental scorecard. The scorecard is an incentive-based instrument which established an explicit formulator determining the percentage of a property tax exemption a facility would receive. Tax exemption programs are typical economic development tools. However, they traditionally do not incorporate other factors than development criteria. This creates the possibility that economic development inducements can be contrary to environmental goals. |
