The Penn Yan Village Board of Trustees claims the Milo Town Board had some ulterior motives when it voted to deny the annexation of 72 acres of land on Old Route 14A within Milo to the village.
The land is the former McFetridge Farm and is located out back of Tractor Supply and is owned by Finger Lakes Economic Development Center. The annexation of land was one hurdle that needed to be cleared for a proposed mixed affordable housing project to move forward designed to help alleviate a distinct shortage of moderately priced housing in the village of Penn Yan.
In a statement, the Penn Yan Trustees called the late January decision by the Milo Town Board to deny the annexation “superficial and arbitrary” and claimed the board exhibited a distinct lack of inquisitiveness regarding the issues related to the annexation.
