sector, specifically for the construction of the Hunter Creek Dam
Multi-Use Trail. It is seeking federal grants to make this trail a
possibility. However, the land they seek to use is currently owned by
the Hudson River-Black River Regulating District (HRBRRD). HRBRRD has
owned this land going back to a 1935 agreement. For the trail project to
continue forward, certain lands must be conveyed to the Village of
Northville. HRBRRD is fully supportive of the transfer but said transfer
must be facilitated by the Legislature.
