ALBANY – , which is included in the 2026-27 budget, has added provisions beyond those in the first two years of the state law.

Commercial developments may seek a payment in lieu of taxes, sales tax exemption on materials, and a mortgage filing fee exemption.

Now, if a developer applies for what is called a instead of going through the IDA, it would include additional requirements that Denise Quinn, the president of the Orange County Association of Towns, Villages and Cities, opposes.

“That change is not to get a 485b, you have to pay prevailing wage or have a project labor agreement, and they have to go through a training program for the (construction trades) union,” she said.

These provisions will only apply to development in Orange County, and Quinn, who is the Wawayanda town supervisor, said that puts the county at a disadvantage when competing with other counties.

Orange County IDA officials are opposed to the entire monitor law saying they have followed the letter of the law in moving companies through the incentives process.
