Shandaken board approves agreement with Catskill Watershed Corporation to buy Route 28 site for town hall
Summary
The board approved a Catskill Watershed Corporation agreement to purchase real property on Route 28 for a proposed town hall and highway garage, citing floodplain safety and emergency access as reasons for relocating critical facilities out of the floodplain.
Supervisor Mansfield told the board that the Catskill Watershed Corporation has approved funding for purchase of real property on Route 28 intended for a town hall complex and highway garage. He emphasized floodplain and emergency-access reasons for seeking a site other than the school: critical facilities should be out of flood-prone locations to ensure access during disasters.
The board moved and adopted a resolution approving the agreement with the Catskill Watershed Corporation to initiate the property purchase process. Mansfield thanked the CWC for their approval and noted the agreement was intended to keep emergency operations accessible in future storms.
