Governor Kathy Hochul has an editorial out yesterday on Empire Report New York. In it, the Democrat Governor criticizes Republican President Donald Trump for shutting down offshore wind projects in downstate New York.
We asked the Steuben County Industrial Development Agency how things were for Steuben County wind projects.
From IDA Director Jamie Johnson: ”Both the Canisteo and Prattsburgh wind projects have been delayed because of recent federal actions related to the inability to get necessary permits and cost increases because of tariffs on certain materials and equipment. Both projects have said they are committed to building these projects in our community and will reassess their viability as policy changes occur. The local impact will be substantial with each project expected to generate $12M – $14M in property tax revenue through the PILOT in addition to the landowner and host community revenue paid out by each.”
