The Lake Placid Quality Inn is seen here Monday.
(Enterprise photo â Elizabeth Izzo) LAKE PLACID Representatives of a development company planning to revamp the Saranac Avenue Quality Inn asked the North Elba Town Council for a tax break last week. The town council denied the request. Representatives of Dual Development LLC, the company behind a planned rebranding and rebuilding of the Quality Inn, asked the town council on Dec. 8 to consider authorizing a PILOT agreement, or payment-in-lieu of taxes, that would give the developers a tax break for the next 10 years. Jack Kelley, the director of economic development for Prime Companies, spoke on behalf of the project before the town council last week. He was joined by Bhavik Jariwala, a partner at Dual Development LLC.
