Two measures designed to prevent villages from being formed within the Town of Crawford were approved by town residents, Tuesday, in a special vote.

The two resolutions were approved by a margin of 1397-38, according to Town Supervisor Charles Carnes. They were:

1. Should the Village of Crawford be incorporated pursuant to the elector-initiated petition?

2. Should the newly-incorporated Village of Crawford be immediately consolidated with the existing Town of Crawford to create the Town-Village of Crawford?

Carnes, in his Facebook post late Tuesday, said a small number of ballots are still to be counted.

The vote will prevent other villages from being created within the Town of Crawford.

“We would form a coterminous village which means the village would be the exact same size as the Town of Crawford with the same borders. We would then immediately form the village back into a town called the Consolidated Town of Crawford, but we expect that it will informally continue to be referred to as the Town of Crawford,” Carnes said in a statement posted on the town’s website.
