Saratoga Springs Sets Next Public Forum to Discuss Short Term Rentals

SARATOGA SPRINGS —Commissioner of Accounts Dillon Moran has set April 25 for the fourth public workshop hosted by the Accounts Department to continue the discussion about short term rentals in Saratoga Springs. 

 “This is a continuation of a series of workshops to encourage discussion about our community’s long history of rentals, and the current landscape and impact of short-term rentals on housing availability, neighborhoods, and safety,” Moran said, in a statement. “Saratoga Springs is a destination and a community, and the positive economic impact for locals needs to be balanced by defining short-term rentals. It is also important for local government to work toward effective and enforceable regulations especially regarding public health and safety challenges.” 

Residents interested in discussing short-term rentals and potential changes necessary to address the short-term rental market are encouraged to participate. 

The workshop is scheduled to take place 6-8 p.m. on Tuesday, April 25 at the Saratoga Springs City Center.
