The rain made the roads look clear, but the water was hitting cold surfaces and icing up.  So, thanks again to the highway and parks department for keeping on top of the changing conditions and making sure the highways, sidewalks and town properties are maintained during these swings in [...]

SUPERVISORS REPORT FOR WEEK ENDING 11/17/2023  Hello Everyone, Recently Haselton Lumber Company announced it had been sold to Zach Marshall. As taken from their notice on the sale, Haselton Lumber Company has been a fixture in the Adirondacks for the past 123 years. That statement is so accurate. In fact, I would go a little further, Haselton Lumber has been an important part of Wilmington's growth and history for the same time period. On a personal note, I appreciate all the community support the Haselton Family has given our town over the years and generations. The Family's name can be found [...]

SUPERVISORS REPORT FOR WEEK ENDING 11-03-23  I start out this week with an official commendation to all the volunteers, businesses, organizations that made the 2023 Halloween "Trunk or Treat" so successful. Hundreds of children and adults attended the event at the KOA property in town. A special shout out to event organizer Tina Terry Preston, for doing such an awesome job. The community spirit was alive and well in Wilmington that evening.  Honestly, I think it is a toss-up who enjoys the Halloween Festivities more, the children or the adults. For myself, I absolutely love community events like this. One thing [...]
