A development team partnered with the Trump Organization has requested that the state of Mississippi award their new hotel project with up to $6 million in tax breaks, The New York Times reports.
Dinesh and Suresh Chawla, who own 17 hotels in the tourist-heavy Mississippi Delta, have applied for a state rebate to offset part of the $20 million project’s costs, on top of city and county tax rebates.
The developers are working to open the Scion West End hotel in Cleveland, Miss., a new line of hotels managed by the Trump family business.
The Chawlas, who will retain ownership of the hotel, said their effort to receive a tax rebate started before they teamed up with the Trump group in 2017.
The Chawla brothers are reportedly confident that their application to the Mississippi Development Authority, a commission that regularly grants rebates to incentivize tourism, will grant their application for the estimated 100 new jobs it will create.
