Bloomingburg gets state grant to help dissolve
A state grant of $42,750 was awarded to Bloomingburg to aid in its process of dissolving itself into the Town of Mamakating.
According to Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office, the Sullivan County village was one of three municipalities in the state to be awarded money Wednesday under the state Local Government Citizen Re-Organization Empowerment Grant program. The process was sparked by a petition signed by 82 Bloomingburg residents requesting to dissolve into Mamakating in response to developer Shalom Lamm's proposed 396-unit Hasidic housing project, which some residents have feared could overwhelm their village
Village residents are set to vote on Sept. 30 on the referendum to dissolve. A presentation of the plan will be made Sept. 23 by the Laberge Group of Albany, the consultant team hired to explore and help develop the dissolution plan.
