Greetings!
We are looking at a change on our Board at the upcoming election November 3. Ann Baldwin will be retiring after many years of service and Chris Kersten is on the ballot to fill her seat. Current Board member Peter Cipkowski is running for another term. Please vote on Tuesday at the Firehouse!
We are also excited about the Hamlet Placemaking Workshop next Saturday, November 7. We see much potential for the development of the Hillsdale hamlet now that the sewer is in place, and we look forward to having the assistance of Project for Public Spaces, who will lead a workshop to elicit public input on the future of the hamlet. This should be a lot of fun and we hope you will all attend next Saturday from 8:30am to 12:30 pm. See you there!
The Town Board: Art Baer, Town Supervisor, and Ann Baldwin, Carmen Barbato, Peter Cipkowski and Augie Sena.
