During the September 18 Plattekill Town Board
meeting, the Boy Scouts of Troop 195 presented a special
gift to the people of Plattekill. Dustin Columbo, patrol
leader, presented the Town Board with a plaque, engraved
with the names of all BSA scouts who have completed
their Eagle Scout projects in the Town of Plattekill. To
date, 26 scouts have completed projects in Plattekill. The
completion of a community focused project is one of
the steps to becoming an Eagle Scout, the highest honor
bestowed upon a Boy Scout. The Town Board was deeply
moved by the gift, and will display the plaque in the
Plattekill Town Hall. Each year, the name of those scouts
who complete their Eagle Scout Projects in Plattekill will
be added to the plaque.
Patrick Leonard, a Boy Scout with Troop 70, informed
the Town Board about the progress of his Eagle Scout
project, currently under construction at Thomas Felton
Park. Leonard is working with town officials to install
a fitness area, but has decided to use stone dust for the
ground cover instead of mulch.
The Board agreed that stone dust would be easier to
maintain and approved the change. Mr. Leonard hopes he
will be able to report the completion of his Eagle Scout
project at an upcoming Town Board meeting.
Gateway Meeting Report on
Proposed Skilled Nursing Facility
Supervisor Joseph Croce reported back to his fellow
Board members regarding a Gateway meeting to discuss
proposed construction at the Moran Rest Home on Route
32 in Modena. This project, presented by the One 70 Group
and Edge + Co Architecture LLC at the Plattekill Town
Planning Board on July 10 purposes the construction
of a 240 bed, 23,0000 square foot skilled nursing and
rehabilitation center.
The new health center would be built in response to
a deficit of long term care beds in Ulster County, and
the need for upgraded facilities for residents currently
residing at a long term care facility in New Paltz. The
Gateway meeting was called to discuss the projects
plans for waste management, traffic studies, and water
management.
Information regarding the environmental impact of
the project is also needed. Supervisor Croce stated that
he feels this project would benefit the Town of Plattekill.
The new facility would both provide housing for seniors
and bring additional jobs to the community. The project
is currently waiting for the New York State Department
of Health to issue a Certificate of Need (CON) to move
forward.
The next meeting of the Plattekill Town Board will be
held on October 2 at 7 p.m. at the Plattekill Town Hall.
