Edwards village to dissolve ...

The Edwards village residents have voted 56 in favor and 9 opposed to dissolve their village. The Village of Edwards became the first north country municipality to dissolve. This becomes official on December 31, 2012.  The town takes over January 1, 2013.  The next year and a half will be business as usual.  In the meantime we will be working on the transition over to the town.  It is mostly legal paper work.  The town will be adopting village local laws, setting up special districts for water, sewer and street lights. The village and town already have a number of shared services.
