The Erie County Industrial Development Agency on Monday approved a new policy that puts more limits on the type of projects that qualify for tax breaks and requires the agency to sign off on any deal that involves a company moving from Buffalo to the suburbs.
"To some degree, we are narrowing the eligibility of projects," said Andrew J. Rudnick, the Buffalo Niagara Partnership president who led a task force with representatives from five other local IDAs that revised the three-year-old countywide development policy.
