Support for Barbara Moore

| 06 Mar 2013 | 07:01

    A few years ago, I worked closely and cooperatively with Mayor Moore and the trustees to protect the interests of Greenwood Lake’s residents. Often, differences of opinion surfaced within the board that would seem to create obstacles that were impassable. Luckily, our board, in a spirit of cooperation, was able to keep the big picture in mind.

    We didn’t always agree on what road to take but we did agree on our final destination and village goals.

    With the board working together with the mayor and with Mayor Moore focusing all of our efforts, we achieved many goals, including: Creating a fiscally sound budget; protecting the lake by installing filters in our catch basins; aeration; spot dredging; steep slope protection; working toward receiving grant monies for projects that normally could not happen without grant support such as the playground at Lion’s field; creating a Merchant’s Guild; upgrading and maintaining the water treatment and distribution systems; creating a village website; restoring Helen Kelly field for our youth to play baseball, soccer and basketball.

    Please join me and support Mayor Moore on March 19.
