At a raucous meeting, the Knox Town Board agreed unanimously to hold a hearing on five potential new business districts, overriding a planning board recommendation.

Most dogs in Knox are not licensed, according to the town’s dog-control officer.

The ins and outs of BANs create a headache for Knox.

While Knox last month decided not to invest in an appraisal of its Altamont reservoir property, the village board on Tuesday committed to spending $11,000 for an appraisal to prove in court that the property should not be valued, or taxed, as a reservoir since it is no longer used for that purpose.

A year after Vasilios Lefkaditis became Knox supervisor, he and the other town board members are still at odds as was evident by split votes, 4 to 1, on New Year’s appointments.

Travis O’Donnell, 36, sees a lot of opportunity in his new role.

KNOX — When the Helderberg Rod & Gun club received  land on Quay Road in 1958 as a gift from  a family who were members, it seemed the perfect spot.  It was  a rural and largely wooded location, thinly populated.  It still is today, but now the land opposite the club  has some large homes.

The top line in the $1.6 million preliminary budget proposed by Supervisor Vasilios Lefkaditis calls for a 16-percent cut in town spending compared to the 2016  budget.

The board also recently heard town residents who live near the Helderberg Rod and Gun Club register several complaints about the club and its noise.
