Wasco County Suggests 50-50 Split For Google SIP Fees

Wasco County Commissioners reached consensus on moving forward on a process to determine the distribution of the Community Service Fee from the latest Strategic Investment Plan agreement with Google for two new data centers on former aluminum property land, but also recommended looking at a 50-50 split between the taxing districts impacted and funding potential “greater good” projects.  Earlier, The Dalles City Council recommended a proportional distribution of all monies to the taxing districts.  Commissioner Scott Hege noted this is simply a recommendation, but he liked the idea of splitting the use of the funds.  The next step is for the team that negotiated the deal with Google to bring together all the taxing districts to hash out an agreement.
