Diversity concerns in Nike have put a pause on Dallas County’s tax break approval for a distribution center that would add $60 million to the county tax base.
The proposal would give Nike and its landlord, LPC Southport, a 10-year, 50% tax exemption, costing the county more than $68,000 a year in tax revenue. In Nike’s most recent report on 2021 employee data and goals, women held 43% of leadership positions, and racial and ethnic minorities held just over 30% of positions as directors and higher.
