Formula To Disperse Google Taylor Lake Funds Proposed

Wasco County Commissioners heard a proposed process for disbursing funds from community service fees paid by Google as part of the Enterprise Zone agreement for construction of its Taylor Lakes facility.  The first three years of fees have gone towards the Columbia Gorge Community College skills center project, but the question revolves around the remaining 12 years of the agreement, staring in January 2023.  County Administrative Services Director Matthew Klebes says this process would leverage the existing Wasco County Economic Development Commission’s annual Community Enhancement Project process to identify potential projects to receive funding.  The Dalles City Council will hear the same proposal on Monday.  County Commission Chair Scott Hege said he wants other taxing districts to weigh in on the proposal.
