Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

Annexation grows the property tax base, but extending utilities north of Highway 50 would cost the city, with no estimates yet.

Property owner AMS and future residents and utility customers if the land develops.

⚠️Who could be affected

Clay-Union Electric loses territory, and its general manager says the school district loses 6 percent gross receipts tax revenue the co-op would otherwise contribute.
