All the CRAs expire after 15 years.The minutes also noted that a tax break to Guernsey Power Station was approved to continue.City of Cambridge Engineer Nick Cunningham said in an email that “the city’s TIRC meeting is combined with the county’s. The City’s existing CRA’s were approved without any issues.”The March 19 county minutes provided to The Daily Jeffersonian did not show any reference to the city of Cambridge CRAs. In mid-April the Daily Jefferson requested the public minutes of the meeting approving the TIRC recommendation by city council, or of the TIRC meeting itself in regards to the city.
