    Harrisville, NY- Harrisville residents have voted to dissolve the Village, by a
    vote of 112 in favor to 70 against. The Village will become a hamlet within the
    Town of Diana on January 1st.

    The vote was the result of a dissolution study the Village started in 2016 to
    determine the benefits and downsides to remaining a village. A committee was
    formed, with five members representing the Village of Harrisville and five
    representing the Town of Diana. Both Harrisville Mayor Gary Williams and Diana
    Supervisor David Parow were members of the committee. The Development
    Authority of the North Country (DANC) assisted with the study.

    Results of the study indicated that if the village was dissolved, village residents
    could see a 57% decrease in property taxes while town residents would see a
    2% decrease. This figure is based on New York State making a $109,376 annual
    payment, in perpetuity, as a result of dissolution.

    Results and documents from the dissolution study can be found on the DANC
    website.
