Reedman-Edger Housing Project Tax Abatement
Chemung County
Summary
Residents in Big Flats strongly objected to a 30-year tax abatement for a major housing development, citing strains on school capacity, local infrastructure, and traffic while bringing only four permanent jobs. IDA officials defended the agreement by pointing to an upfront $300,000 impact payment and the pressing regional need for housing.
