Hoosick Boards to Explain Delay in Subdivision Review Tonight

Hoosick Falls N Y The Town of Hoosick Board and Town Planning Board, invited to join the Concerned Citizens Committee at the Grange Hall, will explain why they delayed action on revising the town subdivision regulations for a three to four month study. They claim they were not fairly treated and stress growth should serve the entire town, not just floodplain areas, with a subdivision ordinance guiding an overall plan. The boards say their role is an unbiased view on property transfers tied to growth and note 10 minor subdivision hearings have not required changes or delayed transfers. They also object to excluding village residents from committee meetings, stressing subdivision rules affect all residents. The committee meets at 7:30 p m with officials to join at 8:30 p m.
