The Village of Brockport is in the Town of Sweden, so if it dissolves, it becomes Sweden. There will no longer be a 10-minute drive.Russell Jaslow

Re: Will Brockport Have To Change Its Name?
Apparently it can be a lucrative route as well: in Plattsburgh's neck of the woods, the Village of Port Henry voted not to dissolve into the Town of Moriah on what appear to be entirely identity-motivated grounds, as municipal taxes could have dropped by up to a third. Of course, that article mentions state aid specially earmarked for dissolving muncipalities, so there's an air of the cash-grabby about the whole thing that seems to go beyond valid logistical concerns for such action (whatever those might be).Go Cards: win or lose, The Better Team.

Originally posted by Russell Jaslow View PostWell, the Village of Seneca Falls voted to dissolve. At least the town was also called Seneca Falls, because it would be a shame for such a famous and historic name to disappear.
The Village of Brockport is in the Town of Sweden, so if it dissolves, it becomes Sweden. There will no longer be a 10-minute drive.

Re: Will Brockport Have To Change Its Name?
Originally posted by Birdwatcher View PostBrockport would more than likely remain a Hamlet with no government, as have many before them. There are many in Clinton county. Peru, AuSable Forks (which is also part of two townships covering two counties), Mooers, Mooers Forks, Ellenburg, and all of its namesakes just to name a few.
And with the village with no government that straddles the county border and therefore sits in two towns... Keeseville fits that bill as well (and happens to sit in Ausable... not to be confused with Ausable Forks!)Last edited by CARDS_rule_the_Burgh; 03-30-2010, 04:08 PM.Plattsburgh CARDINALS
