Manufacturers constructing eligible investment projects. Applications will be accepted beginning January 1, 2018. The application must be submitted before initiation of construction or acquisition of equipment.

"Eligible investment project" means an investment project for qualified buildings and machinery and equipment on two new, renovated, or expanded manufacturing operations per year, at least one of which must be located east of the crest of the Cascade mountains, and one of which must be located west of the crest of the Cascade mountains. The deferral provided in this section only applies to the state and local sales and use taxes due on the first ten million dollars in costs for qualified buildings and machinery and equipment.
