According to Northampton County assessment records, this Bangor property (54 N1st St), owned by Ruggiero Corporation, is a residential parking lot. So are 50 N 1st St and 58 N 1st St. These are just three of fifteen parcels under consideration for KOZ classification. Any person who does business in a KOZ property pays practically no local or state taxes.KOZ exists to provide relief to communities “characterized by high unemployment, low investment of new capital, inadequate dwelling conditions, blighted conditions, underutilized, obsolete or abandoned industrial, commercial and residential structures and deteriorating tax bases.”
Call me cRaZy, but I don't think KOZ exists for residential parking lots in downtown Bangor.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
