Albany-Dougherty PDA Action could Facilitate Solar Array Project
Thursday, May 5th, 2016
The Albany-Dougherty Payroll Development Authority turned some “old business” into potentially lucrative new business Wednesday morning, approving an agreement that could bring up to $13 million in additional tax money into the community over the next 30 years.
Taking action on an inducement resolution that was previously approved by the PDA in 2014, the board agreed Wednesday to OK an updated agreement with Orion Solar Energy and a new, unnamed partner, on 1,000 acres of farmland in the county that could potentially bring “between $11 million and $13 million” of new tax money into the community, according to County Commission Chairman Chris Cohilas, who also is a PDA board member.
