Hillsdale introduces local law to regulate special events; public hearing set for June 30
Summary
The town board introduced Local Law 25-3 to authorize special events and set a public hearing and special meeting for June 30 at noon to consider adoption and related approvals for scheduled events.
The board moved to introduce Local Law 25-3, a local law to authorize special events in the town of Hillsdale, and discussed a tight timeline to hold a public hearing and a special meeting on June 30 at noon followed by a quick vote. The chair said the law will provide statutory authority the town needs to permit events such as music festivals and to clarify which municipal body reviews those requests.
Board members asked whether previously approved events (including Old Town and town‑sanctioned events like Shakespeare in the Park) would be required to reapply under the new regime; the chair said previously approved events could be reapproved but the law will solidify the process going forward. The board agreed to move forward with the public hearing schedule to accommodate an August 9 event the town previously gave provisional approval to.
