Greenburgh Insider: Greenburgh Town Board to vote to ask state to approve moratorium on incorporation of villages, to study impacts and answer questions.

 

An impartial study conducted by the NYS Department of State would provide answers to questions about impacts

On Friday, May 13, the Greenburgh Town Board will meet in Special Session at 5 PM. One of the issues on the agenda relates to the Town Board’s consideration of new legislation sponsored by Assemblyman Tom Abinanti, requiring a one year moratorium on Village Incorporation, and the appointment of a NYS Committee to study the many unanswered questions related to the process and the equity of the current Incorporation process, as dictated by NYS Village Law. Below, please find a position paper outlining the need for a moratorium and the amendment of NYS Village Law to ensure protection for all residents of Greenburgh.
