Authority ends Phelpsville Urban Renewal Plan project PA-R-20
Summary
The Redevelopment Authority approved termination of the Phelpsville Urban Renewal Plan project PA-R-20 after staff said Taylor Borough’s solicitor is comfortable with the move; board voted to approve the termination on a voice vote.
The Redevelopment Authority of Lackawanna County voted to terminate the Phelpsville Urban Renewal Plan project PA-R-20, the board said, freeing the property for development activity the authority said Taylor Borough supports.
Katie (staff member) told the authority she had spoken with Bill Jones, solicitor for Taylor Borough, and that the borough was “very comfortable with it.” Katie said the termination is intended to free the site so it can be developed and placed back on the tax roll.
Board members voiced support for moving the project off the authority’s plan so it could be developed. One member said developers working in Taylor have produced strong results in the past and that the authority’s role in clearing the statutory impediment would help local redevelopment.
A motion to approve the termination passed on a voice vote; the transcript does not identify the mover or seconder by name. Authority staff did not provide specific redevelopment proposals or a timeline for sale or development in the meeting record.
