WAWAYANDA, N.Y.—The Orange County Industrial Development Agency says the veto of a tax break for a planned Amazon Warehouse in the Town of Wawayanda is invalid.
The agency approved a 15-year payment-in-lieu-of-taxes program for a 3.2 million-square-foot warehouse on Oct. 23. Amazon stood to save $80 million in property taxes.
