Montgomery Town Board considers
Medlin water and sewer connections
The Montgomery town board will consider extending
town water and sewer lines to the proposed Medline
project on NYS Route 416.
Larry Wolinsky, attorney with Jacobowitz and
Gubits, LLP, approached the town board at a meeting
on May 2 to request a 4,300-square-foot extension of the
Neelytown West Water District and 4,000-square-foot
Sewer District Number One to the proposed project.
Medline Industries, Inc. has proposed a 1.3-million-
square-foot facility for offices, shipping and receiving,
and warehouse storage on the east side of NYS Route 416
and north of Interstate 84.
Wolinsky said the approximately $1 million
extensions will come at no cost to the town.
“There is no expenditure that will be incurred by
the town as a result of these requests,” Wolinsky said.
“Everything of a capital nature is paid for by the
petitioner, in this case Medline Industries.”
Wolinsky said the extension will encompass only
the Medline project and no other properties. Project
developers have already prepared the engineering
studies and the town is currently reviewing them.
The town board can’t make any decisions until the
planning board has completed the State Environmental
Quality Review Act (SEQRA) process.
The public hearing for the water and sewer extensions
will be at town hall on July 11 at 7 p.m.

Superintendent Kevin Castle first identified a post
made on social media that was deemed to be a threat in
a letter to parents dated April 22. The administration
contacted local and state police, who began an
investigation immediately.
“If students choose to make comments that are
perceived to be a threat, there will be police involvement,”
Castle said in a letter to parents dated May 1. “As a
result, may face criminal charges and/or consequences
from the school.”
Castle also urged parents to stay involved with their
children’s lives and be aware of what they are doing on
social media.
