Consultant: majority of 4 Creeks tax revenue would flow to local school districts

In his presentation, Dr. Loomis said the statutory valuation and taxing-district allocations lead to a distribution where most property-tax revenues from the 4 Creeks Wind Project would flow to school districts. He pointed to a pie-chart and tables in a handout showing school districts receiving the bulk share and listed named recipients and township splits.

"You see that 62% of the tax dollars would be flowing to schools," Loomis said, and he cited specific totals in his slides and report: Princeville receiving approximately $134 million over the project life and Brimfield about $55 million in his model. He cautioned all figures depend on assumptions in the statutory valuation, turbine layout and chosen megawatt capacity.
