Grafton Town Council Meeting

February 16, 2022 By Eastwick Press

Two Resolutions Passed

by Chris Tergliafera

At the February 14 regular meeting of the Grafton Town Council, two resolutions were passed. The first was to schedule a public information meeting to discuss the Rensselaer Plateau Alliance’s (RPA) proposal to place an entrance and parking area on Foster Road. The meeting will take place on February 28, in lieu of the Town’s monthly workshop meeting, and will be held at the old Grafton Elementary School, 13 Babcock Lake Road. 

Some residents of Foster Road have made it clear they do not want the RPA to move forward with the project, even creating a petition on Change.org asking to reject it.

The second resolution was to name Absolute Drug & Alcohol Testing as the drug and alcohol testing service for the Town’s DPW.

Audit of the Books

The full finalized draft of the forensic audit report of the Town books done by Ferraro, Amodio & Zarecki accounting services should be available very soon.

Grafton Youth Program

The Grafton Youth Program will be having another giveaway for St. Patrick’s Day. The dates for the future Summer Fun will be August 1 through 26.

In Memory

The meeting was adjourned in loving memory of Gordon Acker, Edward E. Fredricks III, William H. Keenan II, Helen Porter O’Donnell, Paul Stewart, Virginia C. Visker, Jack H. Wearstler and Michael Zinna.

Signs posted on Foster Road in Grafton make it very clear where some stand on the RPA’s proposed upcoming project. Photo provided.
