Chautauqua County Legislator Terry Niebel proposes selling Dunkirk's water treatment plant to North County Water District for financial improvement.

Chautauqua County Legislator Terry Niebel has proposed selling Dunkirk’s water treatment plant to the North County Water District to improve the city's finances and efficiency. This sale could provide immediate cash, reduce proposed tax hikes, and enhance the city's bond rating. Dunkirk’s finances are under scrutiny, with a significant property tax increase suggested to maintain services. Additionally, reassessing properties may not effectively address the city's financial challenges.
