Ballston board backs consideration of $100,000 PDR donation for Egan property
Summary
The Town Board reviewed a county request to apply $100,000 from Ballston’s Purchase of Development Rights fund toward the Egan property; board members indicated conditional support but asked for clearer project totals and rationale before a final decision.
Supervisor John Antoski presented a county request that the town contribute $100,000 from its Purchase of Development Rights (PDR) fund toward the preservation of the Egan property. Councilwoman Kelly Jasinski said the County has $450,000 committed and that the total project cost is believed to be about $600,000.
Councilman Michael Carota said he supports contributing $100,000 because “he is comfortable donating $100,000 as it will not deplete the entire PDR fund,” but the board asked for clearer cost documentation and an explanation of how the town should calculate a specific donation level. No vote was taken at the meeting; the item remains for future consideration once the board receives a full project cost breakdown and county-level materials.
