Link to full story    Supervisors from towns with wind projects want to see host community agreements in their towns as a part of any tax breaks for wind power developers.

The Jefferson County Board of Legislators heard from the county's counsel on negotiations, Kevin R. McAuliffe, Tuesday night. He advocated negotiating only payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreements.
