From Lee Jamison, about last night's Stuyvesant meeting:

We learned that DEC won't let the Town use the GE settlement money for a Garage repair and Salt Barn build. Instead, DEC proposes to use the money to build a parking area, picnic pavilion and cartop boat launch at Ice House Road upon completion of the Ice House Rd Grade Crossing improvement. Ferry Rd Grade Crossing improvement will also go ahead. Target 2012. The GE money to be used on materials only, not salaries. Public info meetings will be held in the future on this project. TBA but sounds like we finally heard some progress after 25 years!

The Board approved a $845,000 Bond resolution for the Garage Repair and Salt Shed and Salt Barn Building Project pending public approval at a referendum vote to be held at Town Hall 8-16-11 from 2-9pm. Everyone will vote at Town Hall, likely using the old lever machines but they will confirm with the BoE. A Public Info presentation on this will take place at July's TB Meeting.
