Today, Cornwall and Cornwall-on-Hudson joined six neighboring communities plus the Monroe Joint Fire District and the Black Rock Fish and Game Club of Cornwall, Inc. in a petition to oppose the Kiryas Joel Annexation suit.
Supervisor Randy Clark says, “The Town of Cornwall’s concerns regarding the proposed annexation of land from the Town of Monroe into the Village of Kiryas Joel are based chiefly upon the proposed use of wells in the Town of Cornwall as a water source. It is the Town’s belief that the SEQRA review conducted in regard to environmental impacts on water resources was fundamentally flawed and inadequate. The Town of Cornwall has joined with the coalition municipalities in order to protect the integrity of the Town’s water resources.”
