Finger Lakes Preservation Association Court Hearing

Dear Friends,

The FLPA has filed a petition with the Yates County Supreme Court againts the Italy Town Board contesting Italy's local law #5 of 2009 as having violated several important requirements of New York State's Environmental Quality Reivew Act (SEQRA). The FLPA has also submitted a request for an injunction against the Town Board advancing their review of the Ecogen application during the courts review of this case.

A court date for the a hearing on the injunction has been set for Tuesday July 7, 2009 at 1:30pm at the Yates County Court House, which is located at 415 Liberty Street, Penn Yan. The Honorable W. Patrick Falvey will be presiding. We encourage everyone who can to attend this important hearing. An injuction would prevent the Italy Town Board from approving the Ecogen application before the judge has a chance to fully review the case and determine a ruling.

If you can, please attend this court hearing!

Thank you for your continued support,

The Finger Lakes Preservation Association
