for Annexation in a 4-1 vote (Trustee Hart dissenting). Reasons cited by the Board in their finding to approve included long term financial gains, the opportunity to regulate
zoning on the property, the potential for future development, and improved walkability, among others.
Before annexation can become a reality the Ulysses Town Board must also vote in favor of annexation. If they do so, the proposal will be
submitted to a referendum of the registered voters of the territory proposed to be annexed. The Town has stated that their vote will take place on Monday, August 27, at 7pm.
NOTE: The Annexation Approval Findings, and the
Dissenting Opinion are available here and on the Forms Page.

will be mailed early next week. In addition, the Draft is available for download HERE, or on the
Comprehensive Plan page. This PDF file can be filled out on screen.
The Village is asking that residents please take ten minutes to fill out the survey, then submit them by Monday, August 20, 2007. Drop boxes will be available for hard copy
submissions at the Trumansburg ShurSave, Trumansburg Save-a-lot, the Trumansburg branch of the Tompkins Trust Company, the Ulysses Philomathic Library or the Village Hall. You
