A development agreement that helped to attract a major employer to the community 17 years ago could end up costing the City of Prescott hundreds of thousands of dollars in the future.
On April 17, U.S. Senior District Court Judge James Teilborg granted a permanent injunction against the city in the lawsuit that local industry Pure Wafer, Inc. brought regarding the company’s fluoride discharges into the city’s wastewater treatment system.
Pure Wafer – a silicon wafer reclamation facility near the Prescott Airport – sued the city in September 2013 over a difference of interpretation of a 1997 development agreement between the company and city.
