City officials presented a recommended settlement of a tax-certiorari challenge from the owner of Taconic Rehabilitation & Nursing Center, a 160-bed nursing home at 10 Hastings Drive. City counsel and finance staff said the facility filed challenges for tax years 2024 and 2025, and staff negotiated a settlement that reduces assessment going forward and requires a $14,112 refund from the city’s portion of the tax levy for the covered years.
