Google’s proposed Strategic Investment Program agreement for development of the former aluminum plant and rodeo grounds property it has purchased is now available for public review. It includes a 20-year window for two potential projects estimated at $600 million each, both with a 15 year partial tax abatement, state prescribed taxes tied to the total investment in each project, a state prescribed community service fee based on 25% of full tax capped at $2.5 million, and a locally negotiated guaranteed annual payment. The Wasco County Commission and The Dalles City Council will both hold joint public hearings this month to present the draft documents, answer questions and take testimony. County Commission Chair Scott Hege says there should be more opportunity for public input than for past Google Enterprise Zone agreements. The first online meeting will be Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. as part of a County Commission meeting, and the second on February 22 at 5:30 p.m. as part of a City Council meeting. The documents are in the County Commission packet for this meeting on the Wasco County website.
