Petition Filed For Edgemont Incorporation

GREENBURGH, NY — Another petition for the incorporation of Edgemont as a village in the Town of Greenburgh was filed. The petition asked for a referendum vote on incorporation.

Town Supervisor Paul Feiner has scheduled a public hearing to hear objections on the sufficiency of the petition for 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 16.

The hearing will be held at Greenburgh Town Hall, 177 Hillside Avenue. It will be televised on local public access television.

Feiner said that, within 10 years after the conclusion of the public hearing, he will judge the legal sufficiency of the petition and issue a decision.

If the petition is deemed legally sufficient, then a referendum will be held in Edgemont within 40 days of the decision.

Feiner said the objections whether the petition complies with state village law will be considered with former state Supreme Court Justice Robert A Spolzino, who also served as an appellate justice in the Second Judicial Court District of New York.

All objections must be in writing and signed by one or more residents qualified to vote for town office in Greenburgh.

Anyone who wishes to object may do so by filing a written objection prior to the closing of the hearing. An objector does not have to testify, but if they decide to, they will be permitted to speak for no more than three minutes.
