MAY 8 - 14, 2019
After more than a decade of neglect,
a committee of the Town of Marlborough
has released a plan that will breathe
new life into the more than 40 year old
TOMVAC building, located on Route 9W
in Marlboro.
Previously, after the Town Board
decided to sell the building, residents
voted overwhelmingly to keep and
rehabilitate the aging structure for use as
a community/recreation center.
The
TOMVAC
Revitalization
Committee, headed by co-chairs and town
councilmen Scott Corcoran and Howard
Baker, met for the past few months to
decide on what they would like to see
improved, both inside and outside of
the building. The Committee consisted
of Vinny Mannese, Celeste Ricciardone,
Tom Corcoran, George Salinovich, Diana
Henry, Joe Desole, Bill Woodward and
Marie Toombs.

floor plan and cost estimate for the work.
QuES&T also developed a Visual Mold
Assessment and Remediation Plan for the
building.
The plan shows two major rooms –
one at 2,550 sq/ft and a second, where the
garage now is, at 1,269 sq/ft. Ringing these
two are a series of smaller meeting rooms,
kitchens, closets, storage areas, an ADA

causes rift

Last week’s Lloyd Town Board
meeting went along smoothly until it hit
a snag on a resolution to appoint a new
part-time typist for the Water and Sewer
Department, run by Administrator Adam
Litman. With Councilwoman Claire
Winslow absent, the tie vote of 2-2 failed
to pass the measure; Councilmen Joe
Mazzetti and Mike Guerriero voted yes
for the part time hire while Supervisor
Paul Hansut and Councilman Lenny
Auchmoody voted no.
Auchmoody pointed out that money
was set aside in this year’s budget to
move the position from part-time
to full-time. He said long-time Water/
Sewer Department employee Christine
Giangrasso, “felt that she didn’t want
to be laid off, so she resigned.” He said
the resolution that was on the agenda
was to replace her with a part-time
person, saying this was not only unfair to
Giangrasso but the afternoon phone calls
to the Water Department would be routed
to the Building Department, which would
certainly add additional work for them.
Mazzetti said he was “confused” by
Auchmoody’s comments because the
position has been part-time for seven
years. The resolution called for a
replacement to work the same part-time
hours and the board could expand the
hours if and when that was needed, “but
right now if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
