Time to repaint checkerboard corner

The time has come to repaint checkerboard corner. Many years ago, I remember when Jay Reynolds, owner of the Millerton Inn at the time, organized a group of dedicated residents who repainted Checkerboard Corner. As the western gateway to our beautiful village, this entryway is in dire need of a facelift!
Let’s plan to recruit a group of volunteers and DO IT AGAIN!
Action plan: Ask our Mayor Najdek to contact state D.O.T for permission to repaint the barrier, provide safety cones and paint, provide the best timing for the project and provide police protection.
Plan this project to coincide with current village 175 year celebrations.
We have plenty of time to organize this project. So let’s get to it.
