Town of Denmark Announces Completion of 5-Year Plan
Infrastructure Upgrades with Sidewalk and Parking Lot Upgrades
Town of Denmark,
NY- The Town of Denmark announces the completion of infrastructure
upgrades outlined in their 5-year plan with an upgrade to the sidewalk and
parking lot.
The Town utilized
Federal American Rescue Plan Act Funds to cover the cost to outfit all
building entrances with handicapped door openers. A crumbling sidewalk has
been replace and an inadequate parking lot has
been upgraded. There are now two handicapped parking spaces for cars
and one handicapped parking space for vans. The upgraded parking lot
even features a “horse hitch” under a tree for our Amish constituents. The
old parking lot, which could accommodate 10 vehicles, has been expanded to include
42 spaces now.
Town Supervisor Scott
Doyle notes that the Town has one of the busiest courts in Lewis County. On
any given Wednesday there could be between 30-40 vehicles on site for court
proceedings.
The project was
planned to coincide with the arrival of a $69,313 Federal Rebate from the
Solar Array that was installed in 2023 and a $5,000 Grant received
from Clean Energy Communities for LED parking lot lighting in late
2024, leaving $6,200 to be covered by the Town’s fund balance.
The Town would
like to recognize its partners for the project, The Town of Denmark Highway
Department and our Shared Services Communities, IDH LLC, Paverite, and Mainline Electric.
