On business development, Graziano said: “While we’re working hard, Clarkston works hard to bring businesses in. I’m pro-business and one of my great things that I like is that I help Chick fil A to get in here. I pushed these things, these projects working with Jeff Gilly, you know, our business development individual working with them.”

In discussing town services and infrastructure, Graziano said: “But it’s just some of the things, but it’s also the roads. I believe in great roads. It’s unfortunate that I can’t control state roads. I guarantee if Clarkstown controlled the state roads, they will not be in the shape they’re in. Supervisor George Hoehmann is big on that as well as the town board and me, but all the local roads that are in Clarkstown, you can say they’re in great shape like 300 miles of road, and the great thing about it is that we pave the roads.”

Graziano described the town’s road-maintenance process and coordination with utilities before road paving: “We have a program and superintendent of highways has a program with Bob Malone and Robert Zinowski, our road inspector. He goes around and literally looks at roads and sees what’s got to be done. We work a lot with Veolia, Orange and Rockland, and you say, what do you mean you work with them? We ask them, well, you guys going to do any infrastructure work on these roads? They say no because once we pave it they can’t open up the road for 5 years unless it’s an absolute emergency.”

Discussing an infrastructure project, Graziano said: “We worked with the state to get us the money, federal government. They’re going to have new sidewalks, streetlamps, new paving, water and sewer infrastructure, along with lots of other infrastructure, so it’s all new. It’s going to be fantastic for them.”

After describing his private-sector experience, Graziano said: “You try to cut ways and try to do more with less and you learn from that and that’s what municipalities have to learn and we have to learn that, you know, and we’ve done more with less in the 6 years I’ve been in office so it’s been great.”
