AURELIUS — A Cayuga County solar farm, which is suing to lower its property tax assessment by more than $5 million, contends it should receive an exemption under state Real Property Tax Law.
Wayne Greier hoped to sign a deal with a utility to host solar on his acreage for some $540,000 in annual lease payments. But his community blocked the plan. A recent study found that there has been a 16% increase in local laws restricting renewable energy projects. (AP Video: Joshua A. Bickel)
