Village of Tannersville Dissolution Plan

Welcome to the Village of Tannersville Dissolution Plan Website. This website is intended to provide information regarding the development of a Village Dissolution Plan and to keep the community informed about opportunities to participate in the process.

Upon completion of the Village Dissolution Plan, the final document will be posted here as a tool to help the electorate of the Village of Tannersville make an informed decision in the upcoming referendum regarding whether or not to dissolve the Village.

Background

The Village Board has resolved to explore the option of dissolution of the Village government, which would result in absorption of governance and services by the Town of Hunter. The Village Board of Trustees is in the process of applying for a New York State Citizen Reorganization Grant (CREG) to fund the development of the Dissolution Plan.

Why Develop a Village Dissolution Plan?

In accordance with New York State General Municipal Law Article 17-A, the Village Board is undertaking the development of this Village Dissolution Plan prior to the referendum to assist the citizens of the Village of Tannersville in making an informed decision when voting in the referendum.

This Village Dissolution Plan 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.
