Cornwall, N.Y. Town Board Regular Meeting 6/16/26
Published: Jun 16, 2026
Town Approves Grant Writing Agreement for Vac Truck Acquisition
The Town Board approved a grant writing agreement with Millennium Strategies to apply for a Water Quality Improvement Grant (WQIP) for a vac truck. The town's completion of MS4 mapping makes it more likely to receive this grant, which is essential for cleaning out catch basins and pipes before and after storms. The vac truck and mapping work hand-in-hand for effective stormwater management.
Town Board Addresses Route 32 and 9W Safety Concerns, Pursues Speed Limit Reductions
The Town Board discussed various traffic and safety concerns along Route 32 and 9W. A resolution will be passed to request a comprehensive traffic and speed study from the NY State DOT for a wide swath of Route 32, addressing issues like a dangerous turn at five corners, pedestrian safety near Paradise Hill and Arcanum Learning, and general safety along the route. For 9W, specifically near Old West Point Road, the DOT is expected to implement corrections to address safety issues exacerbated by recent construction. Additionally, the town plans to work with the county on installing pedestrian sidewalks on a new bridge replacement next year to enable a school speed zone reduction near the middle school, contingent on the county's action and town sidewalk extensions.
Town Approves Contract for Help-Sea Drop-off Bin
The Town Board authorized the supervisor to sign a contract with Help-Sea for a bin to be placed in the town hall parking lot. This bin will be for specific materials and is intended to avoid becoming a junk collection area, with cameras and police presence to monitor it. The contract allows for cancellation with 30 days' notice. The bin will be serviced on demand when full, with monthly pickups as a baseline. Concerns about potential misuse were addressed by emphasizing monitoring and the ease of contract termination if problems arise.
Summer Block Party Plans Detailed; Conditional Approval Granted
The board discussed the Summer Block Party, planned for July 17th, involving closing Main Street between Union and Tory from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The event aims to provide family activities and promote local businesses. It will feature kids' activities and bands on Bridge Street. Restaurant access via Tory will be maintained to avoid hardship experienced in past events. The approval is conditional on satisfactory review by the police chief, highway superintendent, and town attorney.
Callahan Shore Road Project Discussion Amidst Moratorium and Comp Plan Review
The board discussed the Callahan Shore Road project, with a resident questioning its consideration during a land use moratorium and the lack of a finalized comprehensive plan. The representative for the project confirmed it's a conceptual plan and that final design depends on applicant and planning board approval. The discussion also included the need for the applicant to specify their desired zoning change, whether it be a use variance, a change to the zoning code, or a modification of the use table. The board agreed to set up an escrow account for consultant work and further discussions, emphasizing the need for a zoning analysis of surrounding areas and potential uses.
