Pittstown board adopts 2026 multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan
Summary
The Town Board of Pittstown unanimously adopted the town's 2026 Jurisdictional Annex to a multi-jurisdictional mitigation plan, committing the town to mitigation goals and actions and noting the plan must still be updated in five years.
The Town Board of the Town of Pittstown unanimously adopted the Town of Pittstown Jurisdictional Annex to the Multi-Jurisdictional Mitigation Plan dated 2026 on April 13, 2026. Supervisor Matthew Curley moved the adoption and Councilperson Jason Eddy seconded the motion.
The board passed Resolution #31-2026, which states the town recognizes the threat that natural hazards pose to people and property and identifies mitigation goals and actions to reduce long-term risk. The resolution says the plan may be edited or amended after submission for review without requiring the community to re-adopt future iterations of that specific submission, and it reiterates the town's obligation to update the plan in five years.
Board members did not request additional public hearings or amendments during the meeting. The motion carried with all members voting in favor.
The adoption makes the town's mitigation priorities an official part of its planning record; the resolution cites the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 as the federal framework under which the multi-jurisdictional plan was prepared. The town will continue with any required post-submission edits and is expected to follow the five-year update cycle noted in the resolution.
