MUNCIE -- Delaware County officials hope to create more than 100 jobs -- as well as a wind-and-solar-powered lighting system for a local business park -- by offering a company $1.5 million in tax revenue.

In exchange for the $1.5 million contract to build the lighting system, the company chosen must agree to "create not less than 105 jobs at an average wage of $21.70 per hour plus benefits ... no later than the end of calendar year 2011," according to a legal advertisement seeking bids on the lighting project.
