SUPERVISORS REPORT FOR WEEK ENDING 5-20-2022 What an interesting week! The lore of “Friday the 13 th ” will always have that special memory for the damage that was done to our roof of the Highway garage. Although we have not yet received the cause in writing, we are told that the cause was a microburst and wind event that raised havoc on our 45 year old building. Based on advice from legal counsel, I am declaring a “State of Emergency” in regards to the incident that occurred at the town highway garage on Friday May 13, 2022 Because of the [...]

SPECIAL REPORT FROM THE TOWN OF WILMINGTON Please be advised yesterday afternoon around 3:45pm, Highway Superintendent Louie Adragna received a call from our security monitoring service that something was wrong at the Highway Building.

SUPERVISORS REPORT FOR WEEK ENDING 5-13-2022 We are happy to report that the splash boards on the town dam are now up and Lake Everest water levels have risen to more acceptable levels. Our water way is just a little better. Although I think most would agree that a sediment removal program is needed to restore our water way to its former glory. Just think of the amount of water the Wilmington Community Dam held back when it was reconstructed in 1937. The restrooms at the town beach are now set for the season. We will be doing some repairs on [...]

Hello Wilmington!  After a week off and spending the time in the sunny and warm south, I am back at it. I absolutely love getting away from time to time. There are many reasons for this. The first is an internal recharging of my batteries and mind set. The second is that traveling other places makes me realize how lucky we are living in the Adirondacks and Wilmington. One gains a new appreciation of small town life. Speaking of small town life, we are seeking a few volunteers to assist with the towns “Youth Easter Event”.  This year we will be [...]
