Mattydale Seeks Tax Relief to Run Air Base
Mayor Costello says Mattydale needs tax relief to support the new airport at the former Mattydale Army Air Base. Three options are proposed: annexation, state tax exemption, or creation of a local authority. The airport would be about five times larger than Amboy and requires relief to be affordable. He notes regional benefits beyond Syracuse and outside observers should not bear the tax burden.
