Small Community with a Great Soul

As I awoke on the first day of 2012 I felt we are all blessed to live here in Greenwood Lake. A small community with a great soul. A Village which is loved and cared for by the passionate and involved residents, dedicated volunteers and a village administration that works to better our way of life. All of this plus our scenic backdrop and rich history make for a special community that I am proud to be part of. I am honored to be the Mayor of our Village and look forward to another year of progress and moving our Village forward.
In 2012 maintaining and improving our quality of life will continue to me a top priority. In the coming year you will see the completion of our new Park and Ride/Library parking area. We will continue our quest to provide more pedestrian friendly areas throughout the Village with emphasis on our natural scenic beauty. Our priority to protect the health of our lake will continue with major storm water projects implemented and the continuation of our aeration project.
Public safety in Greenwood Lake is a daily concern. Our Police Department will continue to strengthen its relationship between law enforcement and the community. We invite residents to take part in our Neighborhood Watch Program and The Greenwood Lake Coalition to learn and partner with our local police department staff.
We invite citizen participation in village government by your attendance at our monthly Village Board meetings. Our schedule can be found on our Village website villageofgreenwoodlake.org or by calling (845) 477-9215. To expand our outreach and to enable those who can not attend our meetings they are televised on channel 12 we are also working to post our meetings on demand on our Village website. I am in my office at Village Hall daily in the morning or by appointment to hear any resident concerns.
Youth and adult activities will be enhanced in the coming year with our Recreation Committees work to provide offerings for all ages. Our ever popular Summer Concert Series will continue with our opening concert scheduled for the first week of June.
The past few years of economic struggle have presented all of us with unprecedented challenges and difficult decisions. Through hard work and funding opportunities I am optimistic that 2012 will be a great year for our Greenwood Lake Community. As Mayor I look forward to working with our Board of Trustees, our village staff and community members for the betterment of our beautiful lake community.
