In 1974, New York State told the Town of Lloyd it could cut residents' property taxes by 80%. Town taxes would drop 91% and school taxes 89%. In return, the town had to accept a nuclear plant on 2,300 acres along the Esopus line, around Chodikee Lake in Ulster County. Many people in the region were open to it. In a 1974 poll of the district, 52.5% said they wouldn't object to an atomic plant nearby. The town's own advisory committee worried about something else: a tax cut that big would bring growth.

It said no. 📄 Sources: Temporary State Commission to Study the Catskills (1974), p. 203; Mid-Hudson Post, 6/26/74; Poughkeepsie Journal, 3/21/74; Southern Ulster Pioneer, 3/29/78; 2020 Census; NYEA counterfactual model on 2025 NYISO data.
