Bryan Rowzee in the Ravena News-Herald reports that the Coeymans Town Council Oct. 13 gave a tax break to attempt to lure Dockside Logistics, a Tennessee-based company that makes large-scale turbines, to the town. A five-year PILOT, or Payment in Lieu of Taxes, was voted for 4-1 to lease land from the Coeymans Recycling Center industrial park.
