Vote Conservative for benefits of wind power
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2011
Wind farms don’t just benefit the landowners, but have the potential to bring tax revenues, new funding for our school and new jobs to the town of Cape Vincent. If you don’t believe this information, get in contact with the town supervisors from the following towns before making a decision on who you are voting for in the town of Cape Vincent election for supervisor and town councilmen.
Town of Sheldon, Wyoming County, 112mw, 75 turbines, completely eliminated town property taxes. Town of Ellenburg, Clinton County, 81mw, 54 turbines, payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement pays $486,000 per year to the town, school district and county. Town of Cohocton, Steuben County, 125mw, 50 turbines in operation since 2008, has reduced town taxes by 32 percent; and the town of Eagle, Wyoming County, 105mw, 67 turbines, provides $1 million annually to the town budget.
If you, as a Cape Vincent citizen are interested in receiving some of these economic benefits for our town, vote the Conservative line in the election Nov. 8.
