Our new building at oswego has a geothermal field with 252 bore holes in it at 499ft deep

Either way, you pay taxes to each government. It is nice to see some attention and tax money going back to the area that isn’t Bass Pro Shops.
Edit: The Power Authority says they operate without State Revenue or Tax Credit but in the end, nearly 40 New York State -based companies, employing hundreds of local residents, contributed to this project. Again, lets just be happy that there is somethings putting money back into this area that doesn’t involve grain elevators.
That crap is way too damn expensive, I can’t believe it cost 7.5million dollars for that. wow
WTF
