Sewer district created for casino

TOWN OF THOMPSON, NY — William J. Rieber, supervisor of the Town of Thompson, said that at the close of the state legislative session in Albany, a home rule request was approved. This request enables some Adelaar properties to be removed from the Kiamesha Lake Sewer District and incorporated into the newly formed Adelaar Sewer District. Rieber said the legislation paves the way for the Adelaar/Montreign projects to move forward. Adelaar will be assuming approximately 40% of the existing debt service for $2.3 million in bonds and paying all costs to construct the collection system and connect to the treatment plant. Additionally, Adelaar will be providing a cash infusion of up to $2 million to be used for critical upgrades to the Kiamesha treatment plant.

Rieber said, “The town is being very careful to protect current taxpayers from shouldering the burden of paying for improvements directly related to the Adelaar/Montreign projects. In addition, this will increase the capacity of the Kiamesha plant so that the town can move forward in the critical growth that will come to the Route 42 corridor.”
