There is just something about the spring of the year. I start of this week’s report with a Heartfelt Congratulations to Judy Lawrence for her special recognition at this year’s 37 th Annual Community dinner. This special honor is so well deserved to Judy. Congratulations is also extended to the Wilmington Historical Society members for receiving the 2022 Citizen of the Year Award. Both Judy and the Historical Society put in long hours [...]

SUPERVISORS REPORT FOR WEEK ENDING 3/17/2023 What a week! Typical March Madness weather. Our Town Crew did an amazing job keeping up with conditions. A sincere Thank You goes out to all our town forces for their efforts. Because Essex County was under a “State Of Emergency” and we lost electric power, our March meeting of the Town Board had to be postponed to Tuesday March 21 st at 7pm. An Agenda is on our Facebook page and on the Bulletin Board at the Post Office. With power outages, always call NYSEG to report. Many times people believe “someone else” must [...]

SUPERVISORS REPORT FOR WEEK ENDING 3/10/2023 This week’s report starts with a somber tone. It is that sadness one gets when losing a loved one or friend.

Each one of them that have passed away bring back memories of yesterday and happier times. Our sincere condolences to all the families and friends that are grieving right now. As a community, we share your pain and are here for you. Speaking of community, the Wilmington EM Cooper Memorial Library [...]

SUPERVISORS REPORT FOR WEEK ENDING 3/3/2023 Happy March everyone! I have personally always liked the month of March. The longer days of natural light are like a renewal of my inner soul. Though I like winter, the short days of sunlight start to take its toll on me by the end of February. Even when we get those typical March storms, one knows that the snow is only temporary and we can start planning for the next season of activities and projects. One thing you can plan for in the immediate future is a Girl Scout Cookie Sale at the Whiteface [...]

SUPERVISORS REPORT FOR WEEK ENDING 2-24-2023 This week I start off my report congratulating Tammy Devlin, of the University Of Vermont Health Network-Elizabethtown Community Hospital’s High Peaks Health Center in receiving the organizations DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses. As many are aware, the Health Center is located directed behind our town offices. On many mornings, Tammy and I extend hand waves as we both start our work day. Her friendliness and caring manner is an asset to Wilmington and the area. The press release that was issued by the hospital stated, “Tammy is the heart of the Wilmington Health Center” I [...]

SUPERVISORS REPORT FOR WEEK ENDING 2-17-2023 Welcome to another week of some things Wilmington. First and foremost, I personally want to thank everyone that reached out to me concerning the Steinhoff’s property and article I wrote last week. The response was nothing short of amazing. In fact, last week’s article had 12,642 views according to our analytics. We have connected several people that are interested in this property with the sellers. As I stated last week, I will personally help anyone interested in this property or any other possible economic activity that would be in the best interest of our community. [...]

SUPERVISORS REPORT FOR WEEK ENDING 2-10-2023 I start off this week’s report with a few comments about a tour I recently did on the former Steinhoff Sportsman’s Inn property. As I entered the historic landmark for locals, a flood of great memories came to the surface. Although the structure has been closed for years, I felt I was walking back in time. Still attached to the building was the famous bar and fireplaces. The timeless wall artwork still remains intact. Although aged, the feel of Steinhoff’s still radiates throughout the structure. Sadly, water damage has hurt some parts of the building. [...]
