I did a little homework regarding Lancaster IDA’s. http://www.lancasterny.com/lida/intro.html
Very interesting reading prior to election time. It may be time for Erie County to scrap IDA program since bad outweighs the good in many cases. Most are legitimate but some, in my opinion, are questionable to say the least. For example, why does Lancaster Airport have three (3) IDA’s? Airport does not produce anything and has no plans (according to master plan) to hire any additional employees. IDA’s allow airport to keep hanger prices low enough to take business away from other small airports. I also notice UNILAND has five IDA’s. Why does a major builder need five IDA’s? How about Ecology & Environment? "Working Together. Finding Solutions.
Ecology and Environment, Inc., (E & E) works closely with its clients to devise solutions that promote global sustainable economic and human development with minimal negative environmental impact". Really? They are involved with airport which does nothing but create air pollution 24/7. Here is my favorite one: Mary Nowak, Secretary on Cemetery Road has an IDA. Who is Mary Nowak? I remember a Mary Nowak on Town of Lancaster Planning Board. Is she the same person and if so, why does she have an IDA? I have not been able to get more information on this. Anyone out there have the answer? I bet 4248 has the answer.
