Welcome to the Town of Northampton website.  This site enables people to find out about what is happening in and around town.

 

Located in Fulton County, along the Great Sacandaga Lake, you can find lots to do -- whether it's boating, fishing, hiking, swimming, camping, or nearby cross country skiing.  We also offer a summer program for kids and youth groups at different churches.

 

We are easy to find.  Just take Route 30 North off the New York State Thruway.

 

 

You can read the Water Quality Report for the Great Sacandaga Lake by clicking here.  On that page is a link to the full report by the Darrin Fresh Water Institute.

 

 
 

 

 

 

Brrrrrrrrrr, is it cold!! This month we don’t have a lot going on to report, so I’m giving Doug a break on his newsletter space. We all have been busy with training seminars and conferences. Four members of the Town Council recently attended the Association of Towns training seminar for newly elected officials in Albany. Twelve members of our Town planning, zoning and Town Board are scheduled for the upcoming planning and zoning conference in Saratoga on January 30th. I will be out of the office for a NYSAC (State Association of Counties) conference January 28th thru 30th .

NEW TOWN BOARD MEMBER
Ivar Anderson began his new term as Councilman, taking Carl Reece’s place on the Board.
Carl did not seek re-election this past November, he was ready to retire and travel around after 27 years of dedicated service to the Town of Northampton. The Town presented Carl with a plaque in appreciation and recognition of his many years of service to the Town. We’ll miss you Carl and wish you best. Enjoy your free time and, best of all, enjoy being able to sit at the rear of the room for any meetings that you attend !! Welcome on board, Ivar.


COMREHENSIVE PLAN APPROVED
The Town Board has approved the revised Comprehensive Plan as presented by the Planning Board with minor corrections made to it. Now that it is approved, our plan is to establish a Zoning committee to begin working on revising and updating our old Zoning Ordinances and Maps in accordance with the new Comprehensive Plan. We thank everyone who worked so hard on producing the draft plan and for the many hours and endless meetings that the planning board members put into creating the plan. Many thanks to members of the public for their valuable input into the plan.

UPCOMING VACANCIES ON BOARDS
We still have vacancies on the Town Planning Board and the Northville/Northampton Historic Landmark Commission.

Persons interested in serving on either of these boards are asked to send a letter of interest addressed to the Town Clerk at PO Box 479, Northville.
