Harvey County Commissioners voted Tuesday morning to grant a tax exemption for Scorpius Industries, LLC (Scorpius), a small engineering design and fabrication business in Hesston that specializes in custom-designed parts and assemblies. After outgrowing its current facility, Scorpius plans to build a new facility outside of Hesston at 8501 N. West Road. The county commission previously approved Conditional Use Permit 23-01 for the construction of the facility at this location. In its letter requesting a 10-year abatement, Scorpius owner Shane Denson said that capital investment for the project would be $875,000. They expect to create seven new jobs over the next five years.
