Re: Adams Fairacre Farms
Discontinuance of Portions of US Route 9
and Cession to the Towns of Wappinger and Fishkill
File No. 12949.0495
Dear Graham and Chris:
By letter dated July 19, 2007, I forwarded to you Official Orders dated August 7, 1933
and February 10, 1949 regarding the abandonment of portions of Route 9. These
documents were originally provided as evidence that the State had abandoned what has
been commonly referred to as Old Route 9 to the Town. Subsequently by letter dated
May 5, 2008, Michael Parrella of the New York State Department of Transportation has
provided copies of Order No. 250 dated March 7, 1969 and Order dated November 7,
1988 bearing number H-2148 which corrected Order No. 250 dated March 7,1969. Mr.
Parrella indicates that this is the abandonment of Old Route 9 as it abuts the parcels to be
acquired by Adams Fairacre Farms. The documents enclosed in the letter dated July 19,
2007 as well as the documents enclosed in this letter all pertain to what is commonly
