BOS Committee Meetings - 05/20/26 - Env Concerns & Real Property

The Warren County New York Board of Supervisors Committee meeting on May 20, 2026, primarily addressed the proposed abandonment and conveyance of a portion of the old State Route 8 to a neighboring property owner, Travel Town Incorporated. The committee discussed the legal and procedural aspects of the conveyance, including easements for property maintenance, with no cost to the county aside from filing fees. The item was slated to move forward as an action item in the next meeting. Additionally, the committee reviewed the status of the county's tax foreclosure list, noting ongoing efforts to contact property owners for payment or installment agreements. Public comment focused on environmental concerns, particularly advocating for increased solar energy development in the county, with committee members expressing support for solar projects on appropriate sites such as brownfields and rooftops. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting, but the discussion on surplus county property and renewable energy initiatives may influence future procurement activities.
