The Easton Area School Board agreed not to levy real estate taxes on 13 Easton properties next year and gradually collect taxes until they finally collect full taxes on the properties in 10 years.
This isn’t some “tax scam” but a well-reasoned decision to spur redevelopment in the city, according to Easton Mayor Sal Panto Jr.
“In the suburbs you grow by building out. In the city you grow by rebuilding and adaptive reuse of existing structures,” Panto told the school board Tuesday. You can hear his comments on the meeting video on YouTube.
