From the desk of:
Keith A. Langley, Supervisor
Town of East Greenbush
This April all departments have been springing into action to prepare for the busy summer months and I would like to take this moment to thank everyone for their efforts. At our April Town Board Meeting the Board appointed Meghan Webster to the Town Planner position, and Matthew Coleman as one of the planning interns that will be helping out during the summer. On behalf of the Town, I would like to welcome both Meghan and Matthew to the team.
I would like to take a moment to mention an upcoming project that will be taking place during the 2013-2014 construction season. Based on information provided by the New York State Department of Transportation, resurfacing on Routes 9 &20 from Route 4 to the Routes 9 & 20 split will is expected to begin this summer. This is a project I am happy to announce knowing how this will improve the daily commutes of many of our residents. We will provide updates regarding the projects as they become available.
There was a second Public Information Session held in regards to Hampton Manor Lake Water Quality Improvement Project. I was very impressed with the number of residents that came out to participate in the open discussion. Work has resumed on cleaning up the milfoil and weeds that have invaded Hampton Manor Lake. This was one of many things discussed at the meeting. Behan Planning Associates also discussed the proposed walk-way around the lake. We believe this proposed project will help keep our residents safe as they walk around the lake. We have had a number of people inquire about the presentation, and would like to make it available for all to see, please see the attached link. Hampton Manor Lake Power Point Presentation
On April 25th a Take Back the Night Walk took place. The Family and Friends of Liza Ellen Warner put on this walk in memory of Liza Warner and Nikki Hart, two members of our community who lost their lives to domestic violence. It was great to see the community join together for such an event. Such events promote unity and help spread positive messages to the youth and people of our community. I encourage everyone to participate in such events as they are announced. Let’s educate our youth and help make the future better for everyone.
Hope everyone is enjoying spring!
