Commission amends prior PILOT resolutions to authorize Industrial Development Board spending on airport and infrastructure local matches
Summary
Robertson County amended previous resolutions governing PILOT in-lieu-of-tax funds, authorizing the Industrial Development Board to direct income toward airport projects, White House business-park work, Portland-area improvements and other local-match efforts; approved 19–0.
Resolution No. 061526060 revises prior authorizations that directed PILOT (in‑lieu‑of‑tax) payments toward the Red River Preserve 172 development and related projects. The amendment authorizes reimbursement and local‑match contributions from those PILOT funds for a range of projects, including airport improvements, a White House Union Springs Business Park local match, and infrastructure work supporting industrial recruitment and Portland-area traffic and public‑safety improvements. The resolution enumerates several line items and local match amounts proposed by the Robertson County Industrial Development Board.
Commissioner Couts moved the amendment; Commissioner Billy R. Dorris seconded. The resolution passed 19–0 with five absent. The resolution cites earlier actions (2011, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2021) that had previously earmarked funds for specified projects, and now permits the board to apply funds as described in the 2026 request.
