Despite initial hesitation about local scrutiny, Fulcrum guided Afton through a successful, controversy-free designation that lowered taxes and increased operational independence.
The Afton case was steeped in hesitation at first. Based in the St. Louis region—a hub where “everything is Afton”—the company was concerned about provoking local assessors and jeopardizing its broader tax profile. But deteriorating service from a major carrier forced their hand. After meeting with rail officials and getting a firsthand look at the inefficiencies, the company resolved to establish its own railroad. Fulcrum guided them through the transition, which, despite initial anxiety, ended up being completely uncontroversial. Today, the client enjoys tax savings and greater control over their operations.
A free 30‑minute live webinar reveals how one simple re‑designation can cut your property tax bill by 50–85 % and lock in savings for decades.
