The City of Faribault approved a 10-year tax abatement plan for Fareway to encourage the construction of a new store. The city will reimburse up to $273,000 of Fareway’s property taxes over ten years, starting in 2029. Fareway announced it will close its current Faribault location in mid-January to rebuild a modernized 25,000-square-foot facility, set to reopen by Thanksgiving next year.
