The Lower Dauphin School Board approved an agreement with the owner of Three
Mile Island that nearly doubles the property taxes the company pays the district each
year.
The board voted unanimously Monday night for the deal in which AmerGen Energy Co.
will pay the district $637,000 a year from 2008 through 2017. Under a 2005 deal, the
company paid $320,000 a year.
The agreement calls for AmerGen to annually pay a total of $930,000 to the school
district, Dauphin County and Londonderry Twp., the nuclear facility's host municipality.
It previously paid the three a total of $450,000.
