————————
We look forward to hosting our Government Efficiency Planning Meeting and Presentation on Tuesday, April 29th at 7pm at Village Hall at 25 Plattekill Ave. The consultant we hired, Laberge Group, will be joining to give a presentation on the process.
The Village of New Paltz 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 New Paltz. The Village has received a New York State Citizen Reorganization Grant (CREG) to fund the development of the Dissolution Plan.
Please join us in person, watch from home, or rewatch later. We are looking forward to engaging our community to ask thoughtful questions to help us flesh out a promising plan.
