Wayne County Board of Supervisors approved Resolution 26-33 on June 23, 2026, setting the Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) obligation at zero percent for several Area XV Multi-County Housing Agency properties in Allerton, Corydon, and Seymour. The resolution cites rising operating costs, capital and maintenance needs, and the requirement to maintain HUD Housing Quality Standards as reasons for eliminating the PILOT for FY22–FY25 and going forward until conditions materially change. This decision effectively frees additional operating funds within the housing projects’ budgets for maintenance, repairs, and capital improvements instead of tax-equivalent payments.For vendors serving affordable housing and public housing authorities—such as building trades, facility maintenance firms, capital planning consultants, and HUD compliance specialists—this indicates an upcoming period where the Housing Agency may reallocate savings into deferred maintenance or capital work. Engaging Area XV on how they plan to deploy this improved cash flow toward facility upgrades, modernization projects, or compliance-related services could open near-term project discussions.

Properties covered include multiple affordable housing sites in Allerton, Corydon, and Seymour owned/operated by Area XV Multi-County Housing Agency under HUD regulations.
