WARRENSBURG — Town leaders pledged to boost recycling efforts and educate local citizens in the task — soon after they heard from a town board member how local government as well as residents could save money through the measures.

For 25 years, state regulations have required that municipalities across the state collect and recycle plastics and a variety of other materials, but many of these counties, cities and towns have not complied with the full list, citing that it wasn’t cost efficient to do so.

Warrensburg Fire Chief Justin Hull urged people to never forget the day, and its impact on the nation. “We lost so much that day, and the 11 years to follow with battling two wars — but as a nation, we have grown stronger,” he said, extending the attention to U.S. and allied soldiers as well

Robert Blais. “It just seemed like a good time (to withdraw) because of the controversy over it being eight stories.” Currently, buildings in the village cannot exceed a height of 40 feet, which amounts to three stories, as defined by Adirondack Park Agency regulations.

Blais said the zoning board of appeals asked the village board if they would do a study of the zoning regulations, particularly concerning height and density, and that he sees this as an opportunity to rethink the entire downtown area. “There are very few vacant lots in our commercial zone,” Blais said.
