“I feel very positive about this resolution concerning the Prattsburgh Windfarm project,” Interim Superintendent Jerry Macaluso, said.
In the first year, PILOT will generate $36,628 in revenue for the district, Macaluso said, and in the final year, the district will receive $55,509.
As per the original PILOT agreement, Naples would have received a total of $649,964, but the district’s attorney Ed Premo said in May 2008 the district should receive more. Both Naples and the Prattsburgh school district sued, seeking a greater share.
At present, Macaluso said that the company had put the project on hold because of finance troubles.
“The Naples Board of Education is to be commended for its due diligence on this matter and its fiscal and civil concern for the community of Naples,” Macaluso said.
