Hello fellow residents. The flooding that occurred was very devastating to our little Village. I am so thankful that no one was injured during this event. I am giving you an update as of 7/23/2021 of what has been done.
We have contacted several agencies as to our situation.
Currently we have NYS Department of Transportation Response Team working hard getting Rt. 51 back in working order. Big Thank you to them.
Michelle Farewell, who helped me coordinate and gave me information of who to call to set the State of Emergency, while I was away.
Victor Jones, Emergency Services Coordinator - Otsego County for helping us get recourses and information to the individuals who need assistance.
Jack Dodson - who has helped us with a damage assessment report, damages ranging from 5 - 6 million dollars.
Christine Bienes, from the office of Rep. Delgado, who put us in contact with the Senator and Robert Dougherty, Legislative Director who has helped us immensely, with contacting the DEC, and other officials and stands ready to assist us as needed.
Senator Oberacker who will be joining us for a tour of the damage, thank you so much!
Assemblyman Angelino who will also be joining us for a tour of the damage, thank you so much, and his staff for being so helpful during this time.
So at this time, we are working with the State and the federal government to try to get help for our Village. We have filled out all the paperwork to assess our damage. Please keep track of your time and take pictures before the clean up of anything you see around the village that may be damaged. I appreciate everyone's patience as we work through this situation.
Thank you again for making our village a wonderful place to live.
Good job on the update, Mark. Thanks for keeping us informed.
