A Plan for Consolidation of the City and Town of Batavia, NY
After receiving a NYS grant to study consolidation and engaging CGR as study consultant, a joint Batavia City/Town Committee spent nearly a year investigating and assessing options for the future. In 2009 the Committee delivered its final report – a plan for consolidation with a proposed timetable and recommended approach – to the City Council and Town Board. The plan calls for the new consolidated government to be a city, and recommends elected officials approve a joint charter commission and take steps to pursue a public vote on the new charter.
