Orangetown Now Owner Of Unsold S. Nyack Village Properties

SOUTH NYACK, NY — The town of Orangetown is now the owner of South Nyack village properties that needed to be sold off to cover the village's debt.

The property transfer comes before the village of South Nyack is set to be dissolved Friday, the Journal News reported.

Now Orangetown will have to decide whether to rezone the Department of Public Works property.

The DPW was disbanded effective Dec. 31. The village held an equipment auction Saturday.

The complex where the DPW is located includes a parking lot. Those properties and the village hall are under contract to sell for $1.65 million and $615,000, respectively.

Proceeds from the sales will help reduce the village's debt to $1.2 million, Mayor Bonnie Christian said in an email to residents earlier in the month.

Worries about what the former DPW site will be used for are concerning to neighbors.

Christian said the property will be used for material storage only, and no 18-wheel tractor-trailers will be traveling through the neighborhood.
