Public meetings outline next steps By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER
PLATTSBURGH | The city’s director of community development updated residents on the status of the $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) at a series of public meetings last month. The meetings served as a status update on the DRI’s 10 priority projects, which were announced by Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul last summer. Plattsburgh’s DRI award was first announced more than two and a half years ago. From the 10 main projects the city is responsible for six, which account for $9,040,000, or over 90 percent, of the total award. They include: • The redevelopment of the Durkee Street lot from a parking area to a park and mixed-use residential and business hub; » DRI Cont. on pg. 2

Local artist featured in Strand Center exhibit Paintings of Amy Guglielmo on display this month By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER
“Orange” by Amy Guglielmo

PLATTSBURGH | Local artist and children’s book author Amy Guglielmo is being featured in an exhibit at the Strand Center this month. Her paintings will be on display alongside the works of eight other artists Jan. 4-25. “I will be displaying a collection of colorful botanical paintings and still-lifes,” Guglielmo said. “The paintings in this grouping are inspired by the flora in the Adirondacks and Costa Rica, my part-time home for the pasts 10 years,
and my recent children’s book ‘Pocket Full of Colors,’ the story of Disney artist Mary Blair.” This isn’t her first time exhibiting at the Strand — alongside her mother, who is also an artist, Guglielmo has been featured multiple times since the gallery’s opening. Her latest display there is intimate, a reflection of her personal life and the colors that remind her of some of the special places she’s been. “I chose these pieces because they reflect my time in Costa Rica and the Adirondack Coast,” she said. “The colors are bold, harmonious and happy, and I thought they would brighten up the January walls of the gallery. “There are several pieces that are collaborations I’ve done with my mother. Her birthday is in January, so I thought it would be a bit of a tribute to her work as well.”
