KINGSTON – A proposal to purchase land on Paradies Lane in New Paltz to construct a new county government operations and 911 center was postponed again in an Ulster County legislative committee Tuesday evening.
This time the Ways and Means Committee held over any action because of concerns that one of two sites at Golden Hill in Kingston are potential alternatives, said Chairman John Gavaris.
“There is the county building where mental health is and that one would require renovation. The other option would be, there’s the parking lot to the right of the existing 911 center which could lend itself to new construction,” he said.
Some lawmakers are concerned with the $3.7 million price tag on the New Paltz site, thus holding up the final selection.
