County discusses proposed Camp Wyomoco acquisition; $1.75M figure cited as contingent on grant
Summary
County Administrator S. Schrader raised a proposed acquisition of Camp Wyomoco at the Jan. 13 Committee of the Whole meeting, citing a $1.75 million estimate contingent on grant funding and Board approval and noting a discrepancy in grant deadlines.
County Administrator S. Schrader reported during the Committee of the Whole meeting that a draft press release related to recent administrative items is pending New York State approval and will be shared with the Board before release. Item #15 on the Administrator’s report raised the proposed acquisition of Camp Wyomoco; staff noted a grant-application deadline discrepancy (April 15th versus February 15th) and said an estimated $1.75 million purchase would be contingent on grant funding and Board of Supervisors approval.
Supervisor May (T/Orangeville) told the committee Orangeville’s Town Board is “not thrilled” with the idea and insisted that the County Administrator personally attend an Orangeville Board meeting to explain the proposal. Supervisor Leuer (T/Middlebury) spoke in favor of investing in a county park and suggested organizing community support similar to Livingston County’s Friends of the Greenway; the Ralph Wilson Foundation was noted as a potential funding source. The Administrator characterized the budget impact as "levy neutral."
