Plans to form Viznitz Hasidic village in Sullivan County halted by lawsuit. What's next?
Plans by the Viznitz Hasidic community to form a new village in Sullivan County have been halted by a lawsuit by opponents who hope to disqualify the village petition.
Two homeowners whose properties were included in the proposed village of Ateres filed the challenge on Oct. 6, shortly before the supervisors of the towns of Thompson and Fallsburg were due to schedule a referendum on the proposal. The town leaders had declared the petition valid a month earlier.
The pending court case, which seeks to invalidate 22 petition signatures, puts on hold any vote by residents of the nearly 1.5-square-mile area in the Catskills that would become New York's newest municipality.
