It was a major triumph for Ramapo, Suffern and Suffern Central School District taxpayers. Ramapo supervisor Michael Specht says the attempt by the owners of the 167-acre Novartis facility on Old Mill Road in Suffern to reduce their tax assessment from $41 million to $6 million was totally without merit. Specht says it’s not clear what the future holds for the property at this time…
At the same time the company was trying to lower their assessment, they were reportedly trying to sell the property at an inflated price.
