Coos County – A legislative solution to the dispute over the valuation of the Granite Reliable Power wind farm passed a key Senate subcommittee Tuesday and State Senator Jeff Woodburn predicted the Senate will pass the bill later this month. Woodburn said passage of the bill is important to efforts to redevelop the Balsams Grand resort.

The House has already passed HB 1590, which sets the valuation of the wind farm at $113 million for Coos County tax purposes. The figure is the valuation used in the payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) agreement negotiated by Granite Reliable Power and the Coos County Commission.
