Village Update – March 14, 2019

You have all received the Village Hall Proposal. Many of you have reached out both by phone and email to ask questions and provide me your thoughts. I am very happy to share that most of the feedback has been very positive. There are certainly still those with concerns. There will be a public Q&A session on Saturday at the fire house beginning at 10am.

Congressman Katko understands our concerns both with water levels and with the east break wall. It is safe to say that all of our Federal and State legislators realize the potential issues and are advocating for us. The biggest issue, other than the fact Plan 2014 exists is the lack of commissioners for both the US and Canada on the IJC. The water has remained at the current level for over a month now. The most recent forecast indicates we will have a good summer.
