The Village of Penn Yan and the Finger Lakes Economic Development Center plan to appeal the Town of Milo’s rejection of a land annexation proposal, citing procedural flaws.
Milo denied the annexation, arguing the village failed to fully assess environmental impacts under state law. The village contends it followed proper procedures and claims the town’s decision was arbitrary. Officials with the village believe Penn Yan has a strong case for court proceedings.
The lawsuit, estimated to cost $200,000 and take a year, seeks to overturn the rejection and move forward with development plans that could benefit local schools through increased tax revenue.
