This makes sense and I can see the reasoning, but from another point, it's stupid for Plattsburgh to do this. I've been to Plattsburgh, driven by it numerous times, and know people from there, and there really isn't much there. It's the last large town before getting to the Canadian border in New York, and it's just a bunch of shopping malls and places to buy stuff. There's not much happening there, so you would think Plattsburgh at least would want to cater to cryptocurrency more.
But then again, most of these people who are on town boards and run towns and cities' governments are much older and have traditionally been against new technology. Crypto certainly hasn't gotten to that stage of mass adoption at all.
