Town Board Delays Vote On Sewer

Just a little important news from around town. This past Monday evening the Shandaken Town Board voted to delay it's decision on the Phoenicia Sewer District. Phoenicia must form a new sewer district by August 8th 2012 to be eligible for 15.8 million dollars in grant money from the DEP. The delay calls into question whether the town can meet that deadline. The delay also prompted the Catskill Watershed Corporation to resign it's roll in helping to move the project forward.

If you would like to read a couple of informative articles on the issue there is one in the Kingston Daily Freeman and one in the Watershed Post. Follow links below to the articles so you can get more details.
