In about two weeks, residents of the Village of South Nyack will be going to the polls to vote on the fate of their village. A petition this summer called for the calls for the elimination of the village. In a board meeting last week, mayor Bonnie Christian said she was concerned the loss of the village and the likely absorption into the town of Orangetown would mean the loss of control…
Taxes were of concern to the petitioners, as was the potential sale of Nyack College, though village officials insist there was nothing they could do to interfere with that transaction. The referendum vote will be held on December 17th. A consultant’s report was released last week and is posted on the village’s website. If you want to vote by absentee you can still do that, but time is running out. We have a link to that form here.
