AU SABLE, N.Y. (ABC22/FOX44) – The hamlet of Keeseville, which lies directly on the line between Essex and Clinton Counties in New York, announced Tuesday that the new Keeseville Waterfront Park on Ausable Street will open to the public at 10:00 a.m. on June 4. The ribbon-cutting ceremony will include light refreshments. Plattsburgh town supervisor says mausoleum was vandalized The park sites on the site of on old mill, known as the Red Mill, owned by Prescott and Sons which, according to the Radiomuseum website, employed more than a hundred people in Keeseville in 1864 during the Civil War and later made products that included cabinets for early radios. The mill had been vacant for years before the Adirondack Architectural Heritage (AARCH), a non-profit organization with the goal of preserving old and historic buildings in the region, bought the site in 2018. The park will include a playground, picnic area, pedestrian path, and interpretive signs. According to AARCH, the project's $700,000 budget was not enough to fill in the foundation and basement of the old Red Mill, but they hope that a continuation of the project will allow it to eventually happen. Controversial bills face end-of-session push in NYS AARCH director Erin Tobin said, 'The Keeseville Waterfront Park represents a true community effort that honors Keeseville's industrial past while creating a vibrant public place for its future.'

Burlington mayor signs amended resolution to clean up downtown, gives $10,000 to relocate Food Not Cops
BURLINGTON, Vt. (ABC22/FOX44) – Burlington mayor Emma-Mulvaney Stanak signed on Monday night the city council's Resolution 8.1, which aims to help businesses in the city's downtown area, especially in the Church Street Marketplace, by calling for among other things clearer signage and a stronger police presence. Read the full resolution hereDownload The most controversial part of the resolution proved to be a clause calling for the removal of the Food Not Cops (aka Food not Bombs) food distribution center from the marketplace's garage. Democratic members of the city council have said the food distribution attracts the same people who engage in anti-social behavior in the neighborhood, including drug use and theft, while Progressive members have protested based on a lack of presented evidence. City Council passes resolution for downtown issues The Burlington City Council currently has a 7-5 Democratic majority, and the resolution passed on May 19 with a clause with softened language requiring a proposal to relocate the center, rather than a full relocation, by July 14. Mayor Mulvaney-Stanak, who is a Progressive, announced at last night's city council meeting $10,000 in city funding to ease the relocation and help Food Not Cops find a new place to operate. In a statement Tuesday, the mayor had mixed feelings about the outcome of the council's deliberations. 'My administration has worked for nearly a year to build relationships with Food Not Cops and with community partners in an effort to find a mutually beneficial path forward. 'The debate around Resolution 8.1, and the insistence upon placing a deadline on these efforts has only hindered our ability to make progress on this work.' Small businesses express concern about conditions in Downtown Burlington But some city council members said they felt like a compromise had already been reached, and were glad to be able to move forward. 'I mostly want to thank the mayor for dealing with this head-on,' said councilor Sarah Carpenter. 'I'm saddened we couldn't get to language… but think we're on a really good path.'
