OUR MISSION STATEMENT:

The mission of our association is to promote, protect and preserve the picturesque area that surrounds South Bristol and the Naples Valley. By doing so, we hope to support one of our region’s strongest economic assets – the scenic hillsides and natural beauty of the landscape.

We currently oppose the installation of a 100-foot wide swath of power lines 16 miles long, 65 feet in the air. We believe this RG&E-NYSEG plan risks harming an already weak economy and poses a threat to the environment.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

You can help! Stand with us. Act now.

Tell RGE-NYSEG to find a better solution.
If you care about the look, feel and future of the Naples Valley and the Bristol Hills, please join us.

All are welcome to join Naples Valley Bristol Hills Association in our mission to protect the Naples Valley and Bristol Hills. To join our association or for more information, please contact us at: nvbhagroup@gmail.com
We love this area and want to preserve its beauty and value. Many of us call this area home. Some of us grew up here and many are raising our families here. Others have moved here for the quality of life or to enjoy a second home. For many thousands more, Naples and the Bristol Hills are a place to come to spend a day or more — for fishing, camping, skiing, hiking, hunting or just enjoying a drive in the country with a stop for grape pie.

Naples School Board Meeting, Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

To all NVBHA Members and Friends,

A regular meeting of the Naples Board of Education will be held on Wednesday, March 5, 2008 at 7pm.

NVBHA urges all of you to be present at this meeting and voice your concerns on the PILOT issue, or at least show support for those who will do so on behalf of our group.

As you already know SCIDA has approved the PILOT programs for the Cohocton and Prattsburgh Wind Projects. SCIDA ignored the objections from the Naples School District and numerous representatives from our community.

SCIDA’s approval will strongly affect the school districts' taxbase in a negative manner. The Naples School Districts’ lawyer explained this thoroughly at the Public Hearing in Atlanta January 18 this year.

An important question is presenting itself at this Wednesday meeting:

Will the board of Education and the School Superintendent advise their counsel to pursue any legal means necessary to counteract this unfair and possibly illegal treatment of the Naples School District?

Public meetings like this are important tools in shaping a healthy community! Show your support by attending the Naples School Board meeting Wednesday March 5, at 7 pm! The meeting is scheduled to be held in the High School Library off of Academy Street. In case of inclement weather if school is not held then after school activities are usually canceled.

Thank you!

The NVBHA Board
