LAKE GEORGE | Despite their qualms about the potential impact on local taxpayers, Lake George Village trustees committed this week to the construction of the new $24 million sewage treatment plant that has been years in development. On June 24, the village board voted to authorize village Mayor Robert Blais to sign contracts with the contractors who recently bid on the various aspects of the construction.
This weekend’s Adirondack Wine & Food Festival will be featuring Chef William Cornelius giving cooking lessons at his tent as well as competing in a culinary showdown with Chef Colin Miner of the Queensbury Hotel. Scheduled for June 29 and June 30, the festival is expected to set a new attendance record for its host venue, the Festival Commons in Lake George.

Lake George Village trustees Joe Mastrodomenico (left foreground) and Ray Perry (left rear) test out tablet devices that will be receiving and displaying municipal documents vital to the five trustees’ decision-making. This switchover for the Lake George Village Board is intended to save printing out hundreds of pages of information per week — and to provide the village leaders better access to the material. At their most recent village meeting, the village trustees reviewed documents pertaining to their pending sewer plant construction — and they voted to go ahead with the $24 million project, while expressing dismay over the substantial burden on taxpayers that would extend for 30 years.

Town of Chester to seek $750,000 for Pottersville water main replacement Meeting: Chester Wellness Center sign-ups exceed expectations
submission of an application for $750,000 in federal Community Development Block Grant money to replace about 3,100 feet of deteriorating water mains. The Warren County Planning Department is submitting the application to state authorities on behalf of the town. If awarded, the grant does not require a contribution of local money, according to Chester Town Supervisor Craig Leggett. “These water mains — which are asbestos-concrete pipe — date back to the 1940s, and they are fragile,” he said. A similar grant application last year for the replacement of these water mains was not awarded.
