Kyle Adams reports in The Daily Mail the Greene County Legislature Wed., Aug. 31, approved a resolution to take legal action against the Association of Property Owners of Sleepy Hollow Lake for failing to uphold a contract. The Legislature alleges the owners of Sleepy Hollow Lake, a gated housing development in Coxsackie and Athens, located on a lake of the same name, breached a 2007 contract when it failed to purchase lots taken through foreclosure. County Attorney Carol Stevens said an agreement was in place between the county and the association to purchase the lots for a price set by a formula specified by the contract. Stevens said she believes the matter will be settled without litigation. Sleepy Hollow comprises hundreds of lots on more than 2,000 acres around the lake. It is self-contained, with its own utilities, water and sewer and public safety department. Read the full story in The Daily Mail.
