Port Jervis backs URA plan amid water system debate
The Port Jervis Common Council voted 5-3 to approve the Central Urban Area General Neighborhood Renewal Plan as a framework for urban renewal costing $56,000 in federal funds and guiding a $167,000 study due next year. Critics charged Botens’ return and questioned the plan’s direction while the panel eyed a water system overhaul with projected costs surpassing $250,000 for rerates and potentially over $1 million for full modernization including a new purification system.
