Village of Lake George Interim Dissolution Study
Welcome to the Village of Lake George Interim Dissolution Study Website. This website is intended to provide information regarding the development of the Interim Dissolution Study and to keep the community informed of opportunities to participate in the process.
Upon completion of the Interim Dissolution Study, the final document will be posted here as a tool to help the electorate of the Village of Lake George make an informed decision in the upcoming referendum regarding whether or not to dissolve the Village.
Background
On May 18, 2022 the electorate of the Village of Lake George submitted a completed Petition for Dissolution in accordance with the Article 17-A of General Municipal Law. The petition, which contained 99 valid signatures, was certified on May 26, 2022.
The Village Board of Trustees met on June 20, 2022 to pass a resolution calling for a referendum on the proposed dissolution by the electors.
The electorate will vote on whether to dissolve the Village in a REFERENDUM ON VILLAGE DISSOLUTION:
September 13 from 12:00 – 9:00 p.m.

Why Develop an Interim Dissolution Study?
The formal process established in Article 17-A for a voter-initiated dissolution only charges the Village with the responsibility of developing a Dissolution Plan after the vote on dissolution and only if the referendum passes. However, the Village Board of Trustees has chosen to undertake this Interim Dissolution Study prior to the referendum to assist the citizens of the Village of Lake George in making an informed decision when voting in the referendum.
This interim study is being developed to answer as many questions as possible and to provide unbiased assessments regarding potential post-dissolution conditions and key issues that voters may choose to consider while making their decision and casting their vote.
