They’re also getting a property tax abatement until 2044, so nope!

This is 100% a screwing of the taxpayers, and that’s before you consider all the more productive ways that money could be spent.

Do you have a separate source for that? The article does not give any detail on potential property tax abatements. Also, this statement at the end seems to contradict your statement: "Porath, for his part, says Rockland County is just following the rules as they’ve been set out. And he maintains that deals like the one the IDA has given to JPMorganChase are paying dividends for the county, turning an asbestos-filled site that wasn’t paying any taxes into one that is pumping hundreds of thousands of dollars per year into local schools and other services."
