Most Testimony On Proposed Google Agreement Positive

Most of the testimony to The Dalles City Council on a proposed Strategic Investment Plan agreement with Google for two new facilities on former aluminum plant and rodeo grounds property was positive.  City Councilor Rod Runyon, who had been involved in previous Enterprise Zone agreements with Google as both a Port of The Dalles and Wasco County Commissioner, said this tax abatement would be very different from those while also joining other Councilors in saying this is not a done deal.  The public comment that was questioning the agreement centered mostly on water use in the new facilities.  Mayor Rich Mays pointed out that’s part of a separate negotiation that will come before the Council in a couple of months.  Both the Wasco County Commission and The Dalles City Council will vote on the Strategic Investment Plan agreement in early March.
