an action taken by the city council last night on the tax abatement plan will help several projects move forward. phil delafield says the revised "urban renewal tax abatement plan" that the council passed in late october became problematic for a few developers and their projects. the prior plan required that construction begin by december 31st. that proved to be a challenge for the projects. the amendment approved last night extends the eligibility of the prior plan from december 31st to june 1st. delafield says the contractors and developers have made significant investments in the projects, and this is a way to make sure that it's fair for them to move forward. substantial effort to develop plans to get a rezoning in place, to prepare your site plan. so, they have hired architects, theyve hired engineers. theyve invested in their planning phases to have the project move forward. it takes time, it takes effort, and then to have the program eliminated when they were relying on it for its financing was the impotence for the council action.' not everyone thinks the measure is a good idea.
