Real Estate: Curley Appointed to the Board of Assessment Review plus Sales and Featured Listings

Jane Curley of 7 Hamilton Road has been appointed to the Board of Assessment Review to fill the unexpired term of Dorothy Finger who has resigned from her position on the Board. Curley's appointment is subject to her successful completion of the NYS mandatory training in Real Property Tax Law.

Recently, Curley has spoken at several village meetings about the 2016 revaluation. She currently works in model validation for a bank where she analyzes and validates models. She has also worked as a quantitative equity analyst, in trading, in risk management, portfolio management and as an adjunct faculty member at University of North Carolina. She has been named to the BAR from July 21, 2016 to September 30, 2017.

The Board of Assessment Review is currently reviewing 1,050 grievances that resulted from the 2016 revaluation. As former BAR Dorothy Finger had recused herself from the meetings, the BAR often lacked a quorum to meet and was under strain to complete their work. At the July 12 meeting of the Board of Trustees, Robert Berg, who serves on the BAR, urged the Board of Trustees to force Finger's resignation and name a replacement. Berg said it was a "grueling process" and that the "demands are overwhelming and unfair."
