Success as a small town or village in New York hinges on strong planning. While there’s been plenty of attention on programs like the Downtown Revitalization Initiative and smaller NY Forward program aimed at helping those communities bridge the financial gap — they actually create secondary challenges. Last week we focused on the Village of Montour Falls, who won $4.5 million as part of that NY Forward program. Montour Falls has a population of 1,500+, which puts them at the higher-end of most-populous villages. Especially in the Finger Lakes or Central New York. This week we caught up with Lodi Town Supervisor Kyle Barnhart, who before being elected to his town position, served as mayor in the village. For comparison, the Village of Lodi has a population of less than 300, and an annual municipal budget of around $50,000.
