The Gilbert School Board Monday gave final approval to a plan to bring an Apple manufacturing plant to the East Valley.
The board is one of several stakeholders required to approve the designation of a Foreign Trade Zone for Apple’s new plant.
While the others gave immediate approval of the federal and state tax breaks which come along with the designation, some members of Gilbert’s School Board voiced concern, and threatened to vote against it.
Clerk Julie Smith wondered why Apple would get tax breaks, which are not given to “mom and pop” businesses.
