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:
In connection with the proposed Adams Fairacre Farms project located off of Old Route
9 in the Town, a question arose if Old Route 9 was ever abandoned to the Town of
Wappinger. It took some research but Feldman Jacobson Abstract Corp., title company
for Adams Fairacre Farms, found copies of the following two Orders made by the New
York State Department of Public Works:
1. Official Order dated August 7, 1933, incorrectly abandoning portions of
the road to the Town of Fishkill; and
2. Official Order No. 40 dated February 10, 1949, correcting the
abandonment to the Town of Wappinger.

It is my understanding that both of these Orders have been filed in the Dutchess County
Clerk's Office. Copies of these Orders should be maintained in both Graham's office and
in Chris' office. If you have any questions regarding these documents, please contact me.
Very truly yours,
