WILSON, Pa. – More financial issues could impact the potential sale of the former Dixie Cup factory in Northampton County.
The current owner of the Wilson Borough building, Joseph Reibman, owes over $400,000 in county, borough and school taxes.
$364,000 of that are school taxes which are liens against the building, according to Northampton County Director of Fiscal Affairs, Stephen Barron.
The sale of the property to a New Jersey developer – which would include government tax incentives – has been the subject of contentious debate among the County Council.
According to Barron, the taxes owed would have to be cleared up before a sale could happen.
