SHEEHAN ENCOURAGES RESIDENTS TO ATTEND NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS TO DISCUSS THE FUTURE OF COLONIE
COLONIE – Denise Sheehan, candidate for Colonie Town Supervisor, announced today that she has scheduled a series of Neighborhood Meetings, giving residents multiple opportunities to discuss current issues facing the town and present their concerns and priorities for the future direction of Colonie.
“It’s the duty of elected officials to listen to their constituents and be attentive to the public’s voice when developing policies and programs that impact their lives,” Sheehan said. “I’ve talked to thousands of residents during the last several months and I know there’s a tremendous amount of anxiety out there. One of my highest priorities is to include residents in the decision-making process. The Neighborhood Meetings will provide the perfect forum to have an informal conversation with the community and share ideas about how to address the most important issues affecting Colonie.”
Three Neighborhood Meetings have been scheduled in October at various locations throughout the Town. All meetings will be held from 7-9 p.m. The schedule for the Neighborhood Meetings is as follows:
- Tuesday, October 11 – West Albany Fire Department, 1956 Central Avenue
- Wednesday, October 19 – Boght Fire Department, 1095 New Loudon Road
- Tuesday, October 25 – Midway Fire Department, Station 1, 113 Sand Creek Road
“The current administration has made a habit of enacting flawed public policies without giving residents a voice. The landfill was a ‘back-room deal’ that took the public out of the process and landed the supervisor in court,” Sheehan said. “That is not the way I have led organizations in the past, and it should not be the environment Colonie residents are forced to live in.”
