At the 6/5/2013 Fishkill Town Board Meeting. There was a item on the agenda, that was in regard to selling off surplus property. I asked a question to the board if there was any Real Estate property that could be sold. So we could pay off our debt. The board responded with a "no, not aware of."
I asked this question at the 5 minute mark.

Today, I went to the Dutchess County Parcel Access website to look at those properties. Click Parcel Access, then the county map in the middle and then drag down to Fishkill. You can also check your property by putting your name in the upper right box. To find Fishkill properties, put "Town" or "Village" in the last name box and scroll down for the Town/Village of Fishkill.

Dutchess County Parcel Access identifies 51 properties owned by the Town of Fishkill and 23 by the Village of Fishkill. The following is my OPINION of what lands could be sold to the public. If I have stated anything wrong, please contact me and I will make a correction. Most of these properties are parks, government facilities and lands on slopes and wetlands.
In the village one house at 10 Academy could be sold, but it is currently condemned and is adjacent to the village parking lot(s) on Academy.
The Town "may" have up to 12 properties that are worth a look at.
1. Old Town Rd 5.7 acres, by the creek. There is a entrance near Belvedere that you might be able to squeeze one home on. This is in the Beacon Hills area.
2. 1 Van Stueben, in the development across the 84 diner called Forged Brook. 1.9 acres that is zoned residential and is used as a makeshift park. This land is in a wetlands zone.
3. There are 3 connected small parcels on Old Town Rd that could be combined for one lot for a small home. Could also be wetlands.
4. Snook Rd, 14 acres on steep slopes. This land should be preserved for the Fishkill Supply Depot.
5. There is one acre zoned residential that is within the boundaries of Shepheard Park. It would be a bad idea to sell this 1 acre parcel.
6. On Lockey Woods there is 7 acres near 9D that is designated water supply. At past meetings there was talk of selling this land to the adjacent apartment complex. I don't recall if the town still uses this site.
7. 78 Brockway .74 acre lot. Don't know the zoning down there.
8. 148 Red School House Rd, Across from Downstate prison, 11 acres on wetlands, that could be sold to adjacent property owners.
9. 160 Merritt, 128 acres of mountain land that could be sold to Scenic Hudson.
10. There is the Recreation House on Shepards Park on 2 acres that should not be sold.
11. Meadow a .15 parcel that could be sold to the adjoining property owner.
12. Merritt Rd, a 2 acre parcel right on the roadway.
