Monaghan vows to bring in more ratables to combat rising property taxes. In recent years, Stony Point has lost its largest taxpayers – Gibson, Tilcon, the Lovett plant and more.
“As a longtime homeowner, I know what it is like to have to struggle to pay the ever-rising property taxes,” said Monaghan, a retired lieutenant commanding pfficer in the New York Police Department. “I want my children to be able to reside here and raise their families in the town that I care so much for. That is why I am running for supervisor.”
Monaghan says zone changes at Letchworth Village and along the Hudson River have been designed to stimulate development. “We’re looking to attract a hotel, restaurants, possibly town homes.”
