Update from the Town Supervisor

Letter from the Town Supervisor:

March 1st, 2024

It's hard to believe that winter is almost over, and spring is right around the corner.

In the first 2 months of the year, we have been busy here on the Town Board. 

Here’s a minor recap, but if you would like to learn more about anything, please reach out to me and I will provide you with the information available to me. 

• Launched a new town website 

• Installed a new kiosk on the rail trail in the hamlet 

• Adopted a local law that increases the income limits for Senior Citizens for exemptions on appraisals

• Hired an attorney, engineer, hydrologist and created a committee to review the proposed trucking terminal/warehouse in the Town of Plattekill

• Had a presentation by Kai Lord-Farmer of the Ulster County Planning Department on housing issues 

• Currently we are in the process of converting our financial management system

• Working diligently with the Building Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer on fee and fine schedules along with enforcement matters 

• Set a public hearing for March 5th on the truck engine brake law for Steve’s Lane, Dusinberre Road and Phillies Bridge Road

• Continuing to work on the Streetlight Conversion with the New York Power Authority

• Continue to keep our boards staffed and looking to fill vacancies on the Environmental Conservation Commission, the Ethics Review Board and our new Housing Advisory Committee.  

There is a whole lot more that we handled, and there is always more work to do. 

Please take time to participate in local town matters by attending meetings or volunteering for a committee.  

As always, please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns.  

Regards, 

Marybeth Majestic
