Board approves PILOT agreements for two Stafford solar projects
Summary
Byron-Bergen’s board approved two 15-year PILOT agreements with NY CDG GENESEE 6 LLC for solar projects in Stafford, citing estimated nameplate capacities of about 4.475 MW AC and 5.0 MW AC; the board authorized the superintendent to execute the agreements.
The Byron-Bergen Central School District Board of Education voted to approve two Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) agreements with NY CDG GENESEE 6 LLC for solar energy projects located in the Town of Stafford, Genesee County. According to the resolution presented at the May 21 meeting, the projects are identified at Batavia-Stafford Townline Road tax parcels and have estimated nameplate capacities of approximately 4.475 megawatts AC and 5.0 megawatts AC, respectively.
The resolution states the PILOT agreements provide for annual payments to the school district for a term of 15 consecutive fiscal tax years beginning after project completion and filing of the RP-487 exemption application with the local town assessor. The board voted to authorize and direct the superintendent to execute the two PILOT agreements and any related documents as approved by legal counsel; the motion passed 5 Yes, 0 No.
Board members discussed the resolution as part of New Business and recorded the roll-call approval by naming board members in the resolution text. The action moves responsibility for managing those payments from the Genesee County EDC to the district once in effect.
