The Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency is creating a tax exemption policy to help municipalities develop PILOT (Payment In Lieu Of Taxes) programs with wind farm developers.
The IDA says its role is to help local governments work through the deals, saying that it will not tell municipalities how to utilize money they receive from developers.
Also, the IDA said it would not tell municipalities how much money they should be receiving and only wants to develop a template to simplify the process of building wind farms.
“We’re not interested in trying to enforce anything in that area. That’s entirely up to them,” said Don Alexander, representing the IDA.
