Hello everyone. Thanks for taking a look at this week’s report. I start with a notice that Patti McConvey is once again assisting with the 2022 High School Graduate Banner project. Banners with the Wilmington student’s picture and school are placed around the community celebrating their success. Anyone who would like to contribute to this project or would like additional information, please contact Patti at bmcconvey@hotmail.com Please note that with the spring weather flushing of fire hydrants around town will now commence. Also, plans are underway to put the splash boards on the dam as soon as staffing and weather permits. [...]

SUPERVISORS REPORT FOR WEEK ENDING April 15, 2022 Greetings! Hope everyone is looking forward to the warmer temperatures and what our spring will bring.  Spring is one of my favorite times of the year. Many events and projects to get completed. Oh, the “challenge” of it all. For the Town of Wilmington, our next event is the Easter Bunny Photo shoot held at the park building this Saturday April 16th from 11 am to 1 pm. Photos with the Easter Bunny and goody bags will be given out. This FREE event is open to all Wilmington youth. However, the reality is [...]

Hello Wilmington!  After a week off and spending the time in the sunny and warm south, I am back at it. I absolutely love getting away from time to time. There are many reasons for this. The first is an internal recharging of my batteries and mind set. The second is that traveling other places makes me realize how lucky we are living in the Adirondacks and Wilmington. One gains a new appreciation of small town life. Speaking of small town life, we are seeking a few volunteers to assist with the towns “Youth Easter Event”.  This year we will be [...]

Greetings!  In this week’s report I am excited to announce that the Wilmington Get Together scheduled for August 20th  at the town beach will be combined with one of the Town’s Bicentennial events. We are very thankful to the “Get-Together” committee for making this possible. In addition to all the fun stuff that the group normally has available, plans are underway to have a Community parade before the popular event kicks off.  A special Bicentennial Tent will also be set up at the Get Together function with all things “Wilmington”  A little sooner on the summer calendar is a Motley Crue [...]

Hello everyone and thanks for reading another report on some things “Wilmington”.  I start off this week announcing that our Bicentennial Lapel Pins have arrived. They are on sale for a donation of $2.00 each.  The cost of the pins will offset the production expense and help raise additional funds for other Bicentennial activities.   The Commemorative Lapel Pins are really sharp looking and will make a unique keepsake. One can get the pins at the Town Offices, Visitors Bureau and Bicentennial events. Speaking of Bicentennial activities, plans are currently underway to join the organizers of the Wilmington Get Together Event [...]

SUPERVISORS REPORT FOR WEEK ENDING 3/4/2022 Hello everyone. Yes, we are now in the month of March!  As the days begin to be brighter, we all start to look forward to the spring season. Well, most of us anyways. {{haha}} One event I always look forward to is the Whiteface Visitors Bureau Wilmington Community Dinner where we welcome new residents to our community. This year’s event is tentatively set for April 5th at the Hungry Trout. Another highlight of the evening is the awarding of Wilmington’s Citizen of the year. For over 35 years this special award has been given to [...]

Hello Wilmington! As Town Supervisor, I start this week’s report with a Very Happy Birthday wish to Wilmington resident Andrew Cavallero who turned 90 on Thursday February 24th. In typical Wilmington fashion, our town crew partnered with the Fire Department, Essex County Sheriff’s Department, Emergency Services and New York State Police to do a brief vehicle drive to celebrate Andy’s Birthday. Collaborating with his family, we had our honored citizen outside his home to view the entourage of well-wishers. His 60 plus years as a town resident and his years of dedicated service as a New York State Trooper and BCI [...]

Greetings! Due to some scheduling issues, My report is a little early this time.  In this week’s report I want to write about a resolution that I brought up at the Essex County Board of Supervisors Department of Public Works committee meeting this past week. The resolution, approved by all Town Supervisors in attendance, deals with the soaring gasoline prices and gives relief to the working folks in our region. The resolution specifically calls upon the New York State and Federal Government to impose a 90 day moratorium of all fuel and sales tax on gasoline.  Most people do not realize [...]

Hello everyone! I want to start off this week's report giving an update of our potential Wilmington Homestead Housing project. As some may be aware, we recently completed a Preliminary Site Evaluation on what  could be our very first local housing location. The professional evaluation was paid for by a New York State Grant. Our next phase is to have a Jurisdictional Inquiry Form completed for the APA. This is now completed and we appear to be in pretty good shape. This property location, if the "stars" align, could provide up to 6 single family homes. Make no mistake, this is [...]
