OGDENSBURG – For the first time in nearly a year, sales tax negotiations between the Ogdensburg and the county are nudging forward.
At a special meeting Dec. 16, the city offered support for a deal that would extend the existing contract between the county and the city for three years.
The negotiations between the city and county had been public and heated at times, with Mayor Skelly remaining adamant that Ogdensburg retain its share of the county sale tax.
Ogdensburg City Manager Stephen Jellie said the negotiations have been “tough but good.”
