Sewer projects big winner in annual awards By Pete DeMola EDITOR
MORIAH | Localities received early Christmas gifts Tuesday with the annual fundraising haul for infrastructure projects. Essex County towns received at least $5.3 million from the Regional Economic Development Council Awards as part a $64.8 million package. A total of 70 projects across the region will receive funding. Among the biggest local infrastructure awards was $3.2 million for a new sewer system in Moriah. Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said officials will try to obtain an additional $5 million in Environmental Facilities Corporation funding to top off the $8 million project. A chief goal is to keep user fees down for the 3,000 users, he said. Scozzafava praised the Essex County Office of Community Resources and the town’s Wastewater Department for helping prepare the grant application. » REDC awards Cont. on pg. 2

FORT ANNE ANTIQUES
Fire gutted a building in downtown Port Henry, but that was only the beginning of the drama as the event sparked a summerlong tussle between the Town of Moriah and the property owner over the property’s status. Three families were displaced, and a business that was just days from its grand opening was lost in the April 4 fire at the ADK Emporium building, which dated back to the 1800s. For the next four months, the town tussled in court with building owner Greg Cunningham, for failing to have the building demolished. » Top 5 Cont. on pg. 3
