SMETHPORT â The McKean County Board of Commissioners has established new criteria linked with the state-authorized âClean and Greenâ program.
âClean and Greenâ offers tax relief to owners of at least 10 acres of agricultural or forest land.
The program is designed to encourage property owners to retain their agricultural or forest land rather than sell it for development.
Acting at a meeting Tuesday at the county courthouse in Smethport, County Commissioners Joe DeMott, Al Pingie and Cliff Lane endorsed a resolution that sets forth criteria for the 2013 tax year.
