Halcott Local Flood Analysis public meeting

Mark Carabetta writes of the recent Flood Analysis public meeting:

Please find our notes from Monday night’s meeting to gather public input for the Halcott LFA here.  Between the Monday night meeting and the Halcott Fair on Saturday I believe we were successful in gathering information that will be very informative for the LFA.  Also, the interested members of the public learned a thing or two about the LFA process.  The sign-in sheet and presentation slides are appended to the meeting notes.  We have the marked up maps and accompanying notes in our office for reference as we conduct our analysis.

The next step is to settle on a date for our next FAC meeting.  The agenda for that meeting will be for MMI to present the initial findings of our hydraulic analysis, and to gather feedback from the FAC.

Thank you, and we look forward to our next meeting.

A notice to the Halcott Propane Buying Group

Our present rate of $1.79 per gallon is only guaranteed until July.   We cannot predict with any certainty what will happen once the price is re-negotiated next month, but it’s likely to go up.  So it’s probably a good idea to request your tanks be filled now.  You should confirm the present $1.79 Halcott Propane Buying Group rate.  Call 800-776-7263, enter zip code 12430, and ask for Jan or Erin in the mid-Hudson office.
