1 Lafayette Project PILOT Agreement
A presentation on a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes deal for the 1 Lafayette development. PILOTs affect how much property tax revenue the city collects from major projects.
Bourne and Kenney Apartments (Pennrose)
Developer Pennrose was scheduled to present the Bourne and Kenney Apartments project, paired with a proposed payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement with the project's housing development fund company. The PILOT shapes how much the property contributes to city finances.
Kearney Realty PILOT and development agreements
The city considered amending its site development agreement with Kearney Realty & Development Group and a PILOT deal — a tax break in exchange for development. PILOTs shift who pays property taxes, so the terms matter to every taxpayer.
