DeMayo gives his first State of Town
Liberty Supervisor Frank DeMayo gave his first State of the Town address this week since being elected in 2003.
DeMayo noted that a comprehensive plan review committee is in the midst of formulating a new master plan, old Route 17 toward Monticello in Ferndale is being prepared for commercial development, and a $100,000 Build Now New York grant has been secured for environmental and engineering studies to commence as part of an effort to create a shovel-ready site there by the town.
Other plans include improvements to Greibel Park with more than $100,000 secured from a state grant.
The supervisor acknowledged the development pressures being felt in White Sulphur Springs, where the comprehensive plan committee and Town Board are working to formulate ways to preserve the rural nature of the area. The Environmental Conservation Council was created to further address those issues.
DeMayo said there is also significant interest by the Hasidic community to develop in Swan Lake.
“While controversial, we must realize that the Hasidic community has as much right as anyone to move into this area. And, they are paying taxes.”
