Bill H.364 proposes the approval of the annexation of a property located at 124 First Street in the Town of Swanton into the Village of Swanton. The General Assembly is set to approve this annexation, which was previously sanctioned by the Village's Board of Trustees on September 11, 2023. The property in question is adjacent to the Village's offices and is contiguous with the current boundaries of the Village. The bill outlines that the Village of Swanton became the owner of this property on April 7, 2023, and it is within the authority of the Board of Trustees to alter the Village boundaries with the concurrence of the General Assembly.
The bill includes specific legal language that formalizes the approval of this annexation, stating that the General Assembly approves the alteration of the Village boundaries to include the new property. Additionally, it specifies that the act will take effect upon passage. This legislative action is intended to facilitate the expansion of the Village of Swanton's jurisdiction to encompass the newly acquired property.
