Congratulations to three incredible leaders who were recognized as 2026 Women of Achievement in Economic Development — Cherisse Vickers- Executive Director of City of Newburgh IDA , Maria Bruni- Director of Community Development City of Middletown, NY , and Valerie Maginsky- Executive Director City of Port Jervis, NY Community Development Agency!

It was great to celebrate these women and the work they do every day to strengthen their communities and move economic development forward across Orange County.

When our cities succeed, our towns succeed. And when communities across Orange County work together and grow, we all succeed.

Congratulations, Cherisse, Maria, and Val — well deserved!

What is a PILOT?

We get it — PILOTs (Payments In Lieu of Taxes) can be confusing, and there are a lot of misconceptions out there about how they work. The most common one? That homeowners end up footing the bill. So let's clear that up.

Here's the truth: a PILOT does not shift anyone's tax burden onto residents. The existing taxes on a property keep getting paid in full — it's only the NEW taxes created by a new project that phase in over time. That's revenue the community wasn't collecting before, on land that was often sitting idle or underused.

MYTH: "Homeowners pay for it."
FACT: No homeowner's tax bill goes up to make a project happen. It's new money — created, not shifted.

MYTH: "The town loses tax revenue."
FACT: Even at a phased-in rate, it's still new revenue that flows into the school and town budgets. Locally, about 70% of a tax bill goes to our schools — so those dollars help ease the pressure on everyone's property taxes. And when the term ends, the project pays 100% and joins the full tax roll.

We put together a short video that walks through exactly how it works — take a look below. And if you ever have questions about a project or how PILOTs work, our door is open. That's what we're here for.
