Drain on Town Finances
The projected $25 million annual gross boost to the economy is based on assumptions that may not bear out, but the bill will still have to be paid. Will our taxes rise by way of bonds to cover additional costs?
On what is the projection based? How carefully has the Town’s economist analyzed the assumptions?
What will it cost the town to provide or expand services for the industrial park?
- Road maintenance
- Fire services
- Emergency medical services
- Police services
- Water and sewer services
So close to Prescott, an airpark doesn’t seem viable. Might a business park without an airport or another more sustainable business proposal generate even more jobs?
