FRIDAY, JULY 1, 2011

CAPE VINCENT — The town’s Planning Board chairman, Richard J. Edsall, has abruptly resigned, with no reason given.

In a June 30 letter addressed to the town board and fellow Planning Board members, Mr. Edsall said he is stepping down effective today, according to Planning Board member Richard H. Macsherry.

The Times was unable to reach Mr. Edsall for comment.

Mr. Edsall said the board’s vice chair, Thomas K. Rienbeck, will likely assume the role of chairman and unless the town board decides to appoint someone to fill his position, Mr. Edsall’s seat will remain vacant until the November elections.
