Diamond Vista pays Marion County $269,325

Marion County received its first payment in lieu of taxes check for $269,325 from Diamond Vista wind farm Dec. 16, county clerk Tina Spencer said.
It appears that no money was withheld from the county for consulting fees of more than $686,000 despite a clause in the agreement with Enel Green Power that would have allowed it to deduct from its payments any amount that exceeded $250,000.
“It appears to be the full PILOT payment, but I would have to verify by looking back at our agreement,” Spencer said.
