Fourteen people died in the blast.
The company is asking for breaks under a Georgia law that gives companies tax relief as an incentive to create new jobs and boost revenue.
The refinery, however, isn't employing more people nor producing more sugar than it did before the explosion.
Chatham County tax officials say, they're still reviewing the request.
