The RREDZ functions like an enterprise zone regarding the development of renewable energy resources such as wind power and geothermal projects. The request for designation will be submitted to Business Oregon for approval. State statute requires notification to taxing districts—such as yours—located within the territory to be included in the RREDZ, Because a RREDZ could affect future property tax collections in your district you are encouraged to provide comment,either at the BOCC Business Meeting on December 15th,or through submission of written comments(directed to Tom Anderson,County Administrator). Written comments must be received by 5:00 p.m.,on December 12, 2014. Please understand that a RREDZ exempts only new property that an eligible,job-creating business might build or install in the zone at some future time. Also,the exemption is temporary,usually lasting only three years, after which time the property induced by these incentives is available for assessment. An extension to four or five years in total is possible with agreement of the BOCC. Rules and requirements applicable to RREDZ are located at ORS 285C.350 et seq., and OAR 123-680. Thank you.
