Recruitment of members for the Hoosick Area Community Participation Work Group (CPWG) is underway, and the first meeting is scheduled for Thursday, May 30 from 6 to 8 pm at the Hoosick Falls High School in the cafeteria, 21187 NY 22, Hoosick Falls. This meeting is open to the public.
Community members interested in participating on the CPWG were asked to submit a letter of interest by May 17. Candidates for the work group are being contacted the week of May 20 and CPWG membership will be announced in the near future.

This first meeting will include a review of the group’s roles and responsibilities, an overview on the status of the project, and identification of priority topics of interest. Meetings will be held monthly and a 2019 meeting schedule will be made available to the public.
