Welcome to the Study Website!
This site is part of the ongoing Local Government Reorganization Study being conducted by the Village of Highland Falls and the Town of Highlands. The Study
began in early 2016, and is expected to continue throughout most of the
year. This web site is an important part of the efforts of the Study Steering Committee to reach out to residents for input
and feedback throughout the study process. A couple of quick tips on using the web site:
1.
If you're looking for opportunities to come out and voice your opinion,
check the Events Calendar for upcoming public meetings. As these events
approach, more details will be added about the date, time, and
location.
2. If you're wondering what a Local Government Reorganization Study is, and what the process of studying municipal services means (and
doesn't mean), you might want to start by reading through the Project Toolkit.
3. If you want to keep up with the latest
project documents and study materials, that's what the Project Documents page is for.
And last but not least, if you're having
trouble getting used to this web site or need some help finding stuff,
try contacting us - we're here to help answer questions and to listen to your feedback.
