if the taxpayer otherwise meets the conditions or
criteria established by the county applying to the tax
credit, the tax credit shall be increased, in the event
the valuation and assessment of the property to which the
tax credit applies is increased over its valuation and
assessment at the time of the original grant of a tax
credit to the same taxpayer or taxpayers under this
section, in such amount as is required to produce the
same tax for county purposes as would have been produced
at the county tax rate for any given year if the
valuation and assessment had not been increased.
