UPDATE
5 /1/08
We go to New Paltz - definite!
At the town transfer station on Clearwater Road
(off Route 32 just north of the town center).
There is no building so we'll stage our materials
in trailers for starters.
We Plan a June opening.
what's needed
- we'll excavate an existing berm to butt the trailers
against & construct a deck for safety, shopping
convenience & operations. Volunteers needed
to move materials, trailers & design/build the
deck. Volunteer job descriptions will be listed
in more detail in a few days and all along the process.
However, it is important that we know who is of
a mind to help. This is not a comittment for any
specific task on your part unless you want it to
be but it helps us to plan. Ed Nugent has voluteered
to GC this project. Thanks Ed.
A special thank you to Toni Hokanson, New Paltz
Town Supervisor, who got it from our first phone
call and the entire New Paltz town board who worked
along with her to make this happen. We expect great
things of this collaboration and are open to all
suggestions. We also thank the 40 people who sent
letters of support and attended the town board meetings
throughout the process.
