 While some government officials viewed such an acquisition as a permanent solution to the hamlet's parking problems, other officials viewed the loss of tax revenue from the privately owned property to be undesirable.More than 175 people showed up for a rancorous public hearing over the purchase on April 6, 2011.During the hearing, members of the Rosendale town board determined that the tax income from the entire property was much less than the cost of renting part of it for parking.
