Edmunds: Financial Impact of Exelon Closure Uncertain For City of Clinton

Most entities around the Exelon Clinton Nuclear Power Station can say with certainty how the closure of the plant will effect, however, one that cannot is the City of Clinton.

 

Commissioner of Finance on the Clinton City Coucnil, Tom Edmunds (right) explains there's two aspects that will directly impact Clinton and it is inconclusive how much they will impact the community. The first is the financial side.

 

 

According to Edmunds, the other part of the City of Clinton that would be impacted would be the fire department. He explains while the Clinton Fire Protection District does not include the Exelon facility, the City is part of an agreement with Exelon for backup fire protection.

 

 

Edmunds explains unlike entities like the Warner Public Library or the Clinton School District, the City of Clinton does not receive any property taxes from Exelon.
