WASHINGTON, D.C. (WVDN) – U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, today announced $3,868,229 from the U.S. Department of Interior’s Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) program to 36 West Virginia counties. These payments are made annually to counties with non-taxable federal land within their borders to offset the lost property tax revenue.
“PILT program funds help offset shortfalls that our local municipalities face in serving their residents and invest in our communities. I’m pleased to see this support heading to West Virginia, and I look forward to seeing the positive impact this funding will make in counties across our state,” Capito said.
