On the recommendation of its Industrial Revenue Bond Committee, Sussex County Council unanimously approved a low-interest solid waste revenue bond for up to $60 million for Bioenergy Devco and its Bioenergy Innovation Center project, a poultry plant waste-recycling facility south of Seaford.
During council's April 27 meeting, Sussex County Finance Director Gina Jennings said Bioenergy Devco will pay all county costs, including lawyer's fees, associated with issuance of the bond. In addition, the company will pay the county one-half of 1 percent of the total amount of the bond used, which could be as much as $300,000.
Jennings said the county is a conduit to pass through bond market money for capital projects in order to get tax-exempt status, which the county has done in the past for The Moorings at Lewes, Perdue Agricycle and NRG.
