Before voting to approve a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes deal that they hope will lure an international auto components manufacturer to Telford, Washington County commissioners heard a status report on three existing PILOT agreements.
The data shows how those firms â Koyo/JTEKT, Dentsply Sirona and Ebm-papst â are faring under the terms of those payment-in-lieu-of-taxes arrangements.
Commissioners voted 13 to 1 on Monday to sign a PILOT with an unnamed company, which is being called âProject Stamp,â that could result in 206 new jobs coming to the Washington County Industrial Park. Before they made that decision, County Attorney Allyson Wilkinson updated commissioners on the PILOTs the county is currently engaged in.
Washington County commissioners will vote later today on resolutions to fund court-ordered environmental cleanups of three tracts deemed unkept or hazardous properties.
Washington County commissioners are being asked to lend their voices to calls for the state to return a vital historic document to Jonesborough, as well as approve a key payment-in-lieu agreement with an existing county manufacturer at their meeting today.
Commissioners, who will meet electronically at 6 p.m., are also expected to vote on a resolution expressing Washington Countyâs support of an ongoing state lawsuit against three named manufacturers of prescription opioid drugs.
The resolution also names the county as an official plaintiff in the lawsuit and specifies that 1st Judicial District Attorney General Ken Baldwin will continue as the countyâs lawyer in the case.
