Huntington needs more housing for the people who commute to work there, so Mayor Patrick Farrell has proposed a plan to exempt new residential housing construction from the city’s Business and Occupation (B&O) tax.
The proposal would also provide the same exemption for substantial renovations on existing homes if completed within six months of a sale. This would benefit house flippers who are looking to improve residential properties.
