ANNEXATION.
Whereas, a petition,

Totem Board of the Torem
of Groton on
May 1985,
.31,
for the annexation of certain territory in the Town

being described in said
petition, a
copy of
which. is annexted hereto,
and a separate description
of said
property being
annexed is attached hereto
as Exhibit A, and
Whereas, a joint hearing of the Town Board of the Town of Groton and
the Village Board of the Village of Groton, was duly held on said petition
for annexation, according to the law in such cases made and provided, at
the Toi,-n Hall, Town. of Groton, on July 8, 1.985, at which time all parties
interested in the matter were heard, and, in addition, in order to clear
up any discrepancy or any ambiguity with respect to the publishing and
mailing of the Notice of Hearing as required by Article 17, the two local
governments affected, republished and mailed such notices which provided
for another joint hearing on the same subject matter be held on July 31,
1985, according to the law in such cases made and provided, and which joint
hearing was duly held at the Town Hall of the Town of Groton as aforesaid
and. at which time, also, all parties interested in the matter were heard,
and
Whereas the Town Board of the Town of Groton has duly considered said
petition and the evidence presented at said hearing held. on July 31,
including all statements which were made at the joint hearing held on
July 8, 19850
Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the Town Board of the Town of
Groton finds as follows:
1) That the aforesaid petition for annexation substantially complies
in form and content with Article 17 of the General Municipal Law.
2) That the proposed annexation of certain territory in the Town of
Groton to the Village of Groton as described in said petition and in the
exhibit attached hereto is in the overall public interest in that:
a) The effect upon the territory proposed to be annexed will
be beneficial. The land is now vacant and unoccupied. Annexation to the
Village will provide the land with municipal water, sewer, municipal
electricity, and storm sewer drainage facilities. At the present time a
hi -tech facility has indicated its willingness to use a facility for'
manufacturing and assemply which will bring employment to the area - which
is now in a depressed state of economy. Thus, the territory to be annexed
would become productive and invrease in value.
