Village Trustees Continue Talk of Tourist Accommodations
Mayor Foresees Fewer
Tourist-Housing Options
By LIBBY CUDMORE • Special to www.AllOTSEGO.com
COOPERSTOWN – With the deadline for tourist-accommodation permits nearing and a moratorium in its fifth month, Mayor Jeff Katz updated the Village Board, saying he foresees tighter regulations on housing for visitors to the village.
“Clearly, the future is going to be where tourist accommodations in the village are harder to come by,” said Katz. “We’re not saying you can’t have tourist accommodations, but we’re working on bolstering the definition of owner, occupancy and owner-occupancy.”
