General News: Village Board April Meeting

April 18, 2018

Village of Cornwall-on-Hudson Board of Trustees: Monday, April 16, 2018
By Hannah Comitz

Public Comment:
A lawyer representing a family who has been bothered by lights outside of their homes presented his case to the board. The village has an ordinance that could help this problem. The family and the lawyer have been unable to make changes in their town government. The people want to avoid the court system and want a simple resolution to this problem. No home should have to deal with this type of light source while trying to enjoy daily life. The board said thank you for presenting the problem and they will get back to them.
