Overview: In a recent Teaneck Town Council meeting, discussions revolved around the 189 Plaza development project and its proposed long-term tax exemption through a Payment In Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) program. Pursuant to the program, developers agree to make payments to the municipality based on a set formula, often related to the project’s revenue or a fixed amount, instead of paying traditional property taxes. While some residents expressed concern about the project, others voiced hope for its potential for economic development and affordable housing.
