Hello all,

First of all, Thank You all for putting your trust in me to protect our Town. And for those who did not, I hope to win your trust in the ensuing year to come.

This is what we are currently working on.

We initiated a referendum on the New Town garage for two reasons. One so that we have time to work with the engineering company that designed the building to reduce some of its costs.

Also, I am currently working with Senator Walczyk’s staff and private organizations to seek grant monies that will also reduce the building’s cost.

I am also putting together a plan to build our new Town Hall. I have selected a preexisting building that will only cost us site plan engineering fees and save on design expenses.

I am proposing the new site of the Town Hall to be behind our present Hall, keeping the Building accessible to the Town and Village residents as well as saving on sewer and water connections.

Later on in the year we will revisit the water line needs of our residents.

My office is always open for your concerns and ideas.

I would also urge all to attend our monthly Town meetings whenever possible in person or via the  internet.

My motto has always been,”The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes us a little longer”.

Sincerely yours’ 

Jim Millington
