Jordan Landing LLC and Jordan Landing Housing Development Fund Corporation (Project #3101-25-07A) The applicant is proposing to construct 65 mixed-income housing units on approximately 8 acres of currently vacant land in the Village of Jordan. The project includes a community room, fitness area, supporting housing services, offices, and laundry facilities.
Jeffrey Davis explained that this project had been put before the Board previously and the application was accepted and a public hearing was authorized. While doing the Agency’s review, Agency counsel noticed that at the local level, they conducted an uncoordinated SEQR review, meaning that the Agency was not a part of the review. He explained that in order for the Board to act, the Agency needs to do its own SEQR determination. In doing so, OGIDA
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY the Agency has concluded that it is a Type I Action under SEQR, requiring a coordinated review of the agencies that have not already looked at the review. J. Davis advised that the action in front of the Board is one to declare the Agency’s intent to be Lead Agency under SEQR. If the action is approved, notices would be sent to all other involved agencies. They will have 30 days to respond if they agree with OCIDA being Lead Agency. After this, OCIDA will be able to move forward with a SEQR determination that all other involved agencies will be bound by. R. Petrovich noted for the Board’s edification that there was a public hearing held, and the project will need to come before the Board again for the approval of benefits. Mark Muthumbi questioned whether the feedback from the public hearing is pertinent to this action. R. Petrovich explained that the Agency understands that there is a communication breakdown between the Applicant and the localities (School District, Town, and Village). His understanding is that the Applicant and the localities are engaging currently and working through the issues to better understand the project. In addition to that, the Agency staff is working through the issues regarding the incentives. The Agency has not determined a final incentive proposal yet. The Agency is encouraging the Applicant to engage with the localities to help them understand the incentives proposed and why they’re needed.
Mark Muthumbi noted that there seemed to be general support for the project, but there was concern over the transparency of communication. J. Davis stated that it’s important to note that the project has already been approved at the local level and received zoning approval prior to the submission of an OCIDA application. Amanda Fitzgerald noted that the Applicant could procedurally continue with the proposed project by zoning standards, but they submitted an application to the Agency stating that but for the benefits, the project could not move forward. Randy Wolken read the Agency action requested of, “A resolution of the Board declaring the project a Type I action under SEQRA and the Agency’s intent to be Lead Agency for a coordinated environmental review.” Motion was made by Mark Muthumbi, seconded by Elizabeth Dreyfuss. Motion was carried. 3. White Pine Science & Technology Park EAF
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY R. Petrovich explained that this item is relating to property that the Agency owns, the White Pine Science & Technology Park, which is directly south of the Micron campus at the intersection of Rt. 31 and Caughdenoy Rd. The property is the southeast corner that is roughly 106 acres. He stated that the Agency is looking to develop the site in support of the Micron project in order to enhance the ability of supply chain companies to locate proximal to the Micron campus. R. Petrovich advised that this action would be the first step of being able to advance the site for environmental review under SEQR, which is necessary to advance the development of the site for supply chain companies. The Agency has completed an EAF that has been proposed to the Board. The Agency needs approval of the proposed EAF in order to keep the process moving forward. J. Davis noted that this action will involve the Agency declaring their intent to be Lead Agency for a Type I coordinated review under SEQR. The first step is to send out notices to all the interested and involved agencies that have been identified in the EAF. If the Board approves this action, the notices will be sent out and those agencies will have 30 days to respond.

R. Petrovich noted that the Agency took an assignment of the OHB Redev contract before the end of 2025, and just closed on the contract with the County earlier in the week. R.

Micron New York Semiconductor Manufacturing LLC (Project #3101-23-07A) Micron New York Semiconductor Manufacturing LLC is requesting an extension of the termination date of their sales and use tax exemption. R. Petrovich advised that the Board took an action in November to grant a four-year time term for the sales and use tax benefit that was approved for the Micron project. One of the things that has come out of the communications of the Agency and Micron is that getting Fabs | & 2 online will take approximately 9-10 years. As a result of that, Micron has requested that the term of the sales and use tax benefit be extended out to that time horizon. R. Petrovich stated that under consultation with counsel and research with the ABO, this is not an issue, as Micron is not asking for an increase in the benefit amount. He recalled that this is not an uncommon action for the Board to grant these extensions. R. Petrovich noted that his recommendation to the Board is to grant this extension in support of the project.
