The APC voted 4–2 to adopt an order finding that the proposed Cayuga Energy Complex Economic Development Area conforms to the county comprehensive plan, advancing a TIF district tied to Duke Energy’s new plant to the county commissioners for final action.

Scott Craig, attorney for the redevelopment commission, presented the proposed Cayuga Energy Complex economic development area and explained how tax‑increment financing (TIF) would capture new assessed value from Duke Energy’s investment to pay for infrastructure and other projects.
