Hazard Mitigation Plan
Please be advised that the Village of Cornwall-on-Hudson and the Town of Cornwall are jointly undertaking the development of a Hazard Mitigation Plan. The development of this joint Plan was initiated in March 2010 by a Hazard Mitigation Planning Team (HMPT) appointed by the Village Board of Trustees and the Cornwall Town Board. The Turner Miller Group, a local planning consultant, was retained by the Village and Town to assist the HMPT in the preparation of the Plan.
The Purpose of a Hazard Mitigation Plan is to develop strategies that reduce the loss of life and property resulting from natural disasters. Once a local government has adopted a hazard mitigation plan, they are eligible to receive certain types of non-emergency disaster assistance.

Stop The Tax Shift:
The New York Conference of Mayors has launched a public education campaign to defend property taxpayers from tax shifts that may be pushed from the state onto cities and Villages. This campaign will deliver a unified message through a new NYCOM-designed single-issue Web site, www.stopthetaxshift.org. State and local officials, the media and the public will be able to utilize this site to understand the direct connection between state actions - e.g., state aid and state mandates - and New York's real property tax burden.
Local officials and private citizens will also be able to use the Web site to deliver this message directly to state leaders, legislators and opinion-makers.
Recycling Dumpsters:
For the convenience of Village residents, recycling dumpsters are available Monday through Friday from 7:30am to 4:00 pm at the DPW Facility, located at 50 Shore Road. Any questions please call the DPW office at 534-7600.
