PILOT plan

The Jefferson County Industrial Agency finally has held some public discussions as they attempt to do what the county Legislature told them to do almost a year ago. JCIDA members are talking about changes to the uniform tax exempt policy adopted in 2004.
JCIDA ignored the county's direction to produce a uniform policy for wind power developments in the county and instead negotiated a special deal for the Galloo Island project, which cost county taxpayers substantial lost property tax revenues and left unsaid just exactly what part of the county would host the power line serving the project.
