The Board then heard a proposal from Mark McCarthy, Supervisor of the Town of Neversink, and Robert Easterly, representative for the West Delaware Hydro Associates project. This project has been in an agreement with the IDA since 1986, with amendments in 2007. The Town and the Project requested that the IDA remain in title of the project for another five years, as agreed to by the Town, the Town Assessor, and the Project principals. This new agreement would amend and extend the current leaseback agreement and the new PILOT would be dispersible to the taxing jurisdictions. The proposal would increase the stability of future financials for the project. On a motion by Ms. Loughlin, seconded by Mr. Sykes, the Board unanimously approved the amendment and extension.
