Said she would prepare a resolution for a rail-trail project before the Executive Committee meeting.

Town of Mamakating Supervisor Michael Robbins had also sent a letter dated June 5 to Sullivan O&W Rail to Trail Alliance in support of the rail trail and this project. “While the rail trail project positively impacts local businesses, it also provides a boon to the larger community,” Robbins stated in the letter. “We believe that rail trails encourage downtown revitalization, public health and quality of life improvements and appreciation for local history, provide a venue for community events and serve as a safe place for residents for all ages to enjoy healthy leisure activities.” Brown said that she would put the resolution together and have it ready for the Executive Committee meeting on Thursday, July 25.
