PLATTSBURGH â After months of throwing elbows, the Plattsburgh City Common Council came to a consensus Thursday night, closing out 2020 with an approved budget for next year, which features a modest tax cut. It s fair; it s equitable; it doesn t put people out of jobs; it s fiscally responsible, City Councilor Elizabeth Gibbs (D-Ward 3) said of the spending plan. It was the right thing to do to settle that before everyone goes away on Christmas â to know that they have a jobs.  Â
FINALIZED BUDGET
All five councilors voted to OK the $59.9 million spending plan at their final meeting of the year.Â
It offered up a tax rate of $11.41 per $1,000 of assessed property value, down $0.24, or more than 2 percent, from the current year.Â

PLATTSBURGH â City councilors passed a widely unpopular zoning law Thursday night, asserting it would have zero impacts on the controversial Durkee Street redevelopment project, which still awaits the actions of Plattsburgh City s Zoning and Planning boards. This is not in any way going to impact anything regarding the Prime project, City Councilor Elizabeth Gibbs (D-Ward 3) said of the pending Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) project. This is on its own a different law. Â
COUNTYÂ AGAINST
Councilors first voted on the local law, which would exempt city projects from some of its own zoning and planning reviews, back in October to send the then proposal before the Clinton County Planning Board.Â
