Dear Residents -

 

If you happened to drive by Town Hall this week, you could not miss the construction that is under way for the new Town Hall. This project started in 2017, when Supervisor Stewart commissioned a study of alternatives to address the decaying Town Hall. It was followed up by Supervisor Day, with architect selection, design and planning for it. Both of these men, along with their respective boards, understood the need for a new Town Hall and worked hard to bring it to fruition. I want to thank them for having the foresight to do the right thing and look forward to welcoming all of you, sometime in late 2023, to a Town Hall that you can be proud of.

 

Our Parks and Recreation staff is excited to get the first of their Spring Movie Night program under way tonight, with How to Train Your Dragon. It starts at 8:00 pm at Veterans Memorial Park.  Pre-registration is required and no dogs are permitted at this event. At $3.00 per person and a maximum of $12.00 per family, which includes a drink and a snack, it’s an affordable, fun way to spend time with the entire family. So, grab a chair and head over to Veterans Park tonight!  

 

Unfortunately, we still do not have a grand opening date for our new playground (we need for the rain to stop). However, my staff is working hard to finalize the name and want to thank all of you who e-mailed name suggestions. We received over 35 submissions and are excited to have so many great options. I must say, you are a creative bunch. The names proposed were clever, thoughtful and very inclusive. Thanks to all of you!

 

With longer days ahead of us, get out and explore Orangetown, for we are "Rich in History" and have so much to offer our residents.

 

Have a great weekend!

 

Regards,

Teresa M. Kenny

It’s Everyone’s Responsibility


Runners and walkers, you should wear reflective clothing when you go out and dusk is settling in or the sun has yet to rise in the morning.  A study showed that cyclists/runners/walkers and almost all motorists believed that high-visibility clothing would increase cyclists' (runners/walkers) visibility, and almost all drivers agreed that cyclists/runners/walkers need to wear reflective clothing in low-light environments.
