Woodbury Explores Acquiring St. Patrick's Rectory for Youth Programs
The town is actively working on securing the St. Patrick's rectory and adjacent property. While the $4 million state grant is specifically for the education building, discussions are underway to potentially purchase the rectory as well to save costs and streamline the process. The town aims to utilize this additional space for youth programs, creating a centralized community hub. The property's suitability for youth activities and its adjacency to parks make it an attractive option. The town is exploring options for securing this space under town ownership, including a potential preservation of 29 acres with a house on Smith Club Road if direct acquisition is not feasible [cite: 708-734, 745-757].
Woodbury to Host First Senior Citizen Picnic This Fall
Woodbury is launching its first Senior Citizen Picnic, expanding on successful similar events held in other parts of Orange County. These picnics feature live music and catered food, offering a social gathering for seniors. The town plans to invite seniors from neighboring communities like Monroe and Tuxedo to this event, which will be held in the fall. The specific venue is still being determined [cite: 301-327].
Woodbury Advances Multiple Projects with Grant Funding, Manages Debt
The town is actively pursuing various projects, including an animal shelter, Ridge Road Bridge, and senior center, with bids going out for over $4 million. These projects are largely funded by grants, including CDBG funding for the senior center and sewer connections for the animal shelter. A FEMA grant is being sought for a dam project, and a BRICK grant application has been submitted for the police department. The town is also managing existing debt, such as a water and sewer bond, by replacing it with new loan payments, aiming to minimize taxpayer impact. The pool debt is also nearing payoff. The municipal center project, the acquisition of the St. Patrick's education building, is a top priority, with a goal of completing it by the end of 2028, funded entirely by grants [cite: 847-861, 875-881, 898-905, 797-802, 803-822].
Multiple Infrastructure Projects Funded by Grants in Woodbury
The town is moving forward with several infrastructure projects funded through grants, including the animal shelter, Ridge Road Bridge, and the senior center. A $4 million bid has recently gone out to cover these projects, with funding secured through CDBG and other grants. The animal shelter's sewer connection was funded by an $80,000 grant, eliminating costs for the town. Additionally, a FEMA grant is being sought for the dam project, and a BRICK grant application is in process for the police department. While most project costs are reimbursed through grants, a water and sewer bond is being paid off by taking on a new loan, aiming for minimal taxpayer impact. The town's pool debt is also nearing payoff [cite: 847-857, 858-872, 875-881].
Woodbury Manages Current Lease, Plans Future Municipal Space Transitions
A question arose regarding the town's current lease on the professional building, which has approximately five years remaining. This lease was initially a three-year agreement made when suitable properties for town departments were scarce. The previous administration envisioned purchasing the building, but this did not materialize. The town is currently exploring options for future municipal building needs, considering vertical expansion at the current police department location to address flooding issues, and potentially using the completed St. Patrick's facility as a temporary space for displaced departments during construction. The goal is to manage transitions efficiently and save taxpayer money by addressing long-term building needs, including drainage and space consolidation [cite: 1113-1130, 1137-1149, 1153-1157, 1163-1186].
