The Herkimer village board on Monday again voted against a proposal to end the village’s litigation with the Herkimer County Industrial Development Agency over water rents for the H.M. Quackenbush property so it can be turned over to the Herkimer 9 project.
When the mayor asked what it would take to get the board members to agree to a settlement, Ainsworth said the village would have to receive a written guarantee from the IDA that the property would be turned over to the Herkimer 9 project if the board agrees to end the litigation.
The Herkimer 9 project wants to take over the building and restore it for a planned business incubator facility and museum.
