Beaver County approves resolution to join Milford 2 CRA with 70% tax-increment share
Summary
The Beaver County Commission approved a resolution authorizing the county to enter an interlocal agreement to participate in the Milford 2 Community Reinvestment Area project, committing to 70% tax-increment participation for a six-year period as a first step while other local entities complete their approvals.
The Beaver County Commission on June 17 approved a resolution authorizing the county to enter an interlocal agreement to participate in the Milford 2 Community Reinvestment Area project area, agreeing to a six-year, 70% tax-increment participation for county revenues tied to the project.
Jason (staff member), who presented the item, said the resolution authorizes the county’s portion of an interlocal agreement with the Community Development Renewal Agency and that the project area plan and budget adopted June 10 are attached to the agreement. He described the county action as a first step and said the Community Development Renewal Agency will later ratify the same documents once other interlocal agreements are finalized.
The resolution matters because the county’s commitment of tax increment to the CRA will help finance the public improvements and private development the plan contemplates. Jason said the school district, fire district and health district all have separate approvals to consider before the RDA acts again; he said the school district was meeting the same day, the fire district was expected to act on June 18 and the health district on June 25. A commissioner also declared a conflict of interest during the discussion; the record shows the county proceeded with the vote.
Commissioners voted to adopt Resolution 2025-10 on the county side. The county vote record in the public transcript notes at least one recorded “Aye” by Commissioner Yarger; the complete roll-call tally was not recorded in the portions of the transcript provided. Jason said the RDA will return to approve a final resolution that wraps the county action with the other interlocal agreements after those agencies act.
Background: the documents attached to the interlocal agreement include the Milford 2 project area plan and the project area budget, which the county said were adopted June 10. County staff described the participation level as 70% of tax increment for a six-year period; the resolution and the interlocal agreement establish the county’s formal participation and the timeline for subsequent actions by the school, fire and health districts.
The county clerk’s office and the Community Development Renewal Agency will post final signed interlocal agreements after each partner agency completes its separate approval process.
