MAR 31, 2021 — 

It’s going to be a fast moving couple of weeks in the “Save Keeseville’s Historic Bridges” Campaign.

Our Signatures are up to 2,074!  Thank you all for the support!

Connections are being made, and we are making some serious progress. Our Town of Ausable and Town of Chesterfield officials are working hard!  Thank you!

Thanks to Assemblyman D. Billy Jones
for giving us some information tonight to look into! Much appreciated!

Thank You to Assemblyman Matt Simpson
for writing a letter of support for saving our Bridges! We will hopefully be taking a walk to see the bridges soon!

Thank You to Senator Dan Stec for reassuring us of his support!

Clinton County Legislature officials were sent an update of our progress this evening and we once again asked for their support!  I have been informed tonight that Clinton County Officials have been actively researching potential funding sources for our bridges. It’s a very small step forward in the overall process, but a big step in the grand scheme of things. Nothing guaranteed, but keep your fingers crossed! Thank you to all involved who have been making this progress.

Soon we will be meeting with an Engineer who owns a Historical Bridge Restoration company.  We would like him to talk to all county officials, DPW, Highway department, etc to get any questions answered that they may have.  According to this Engineer these bridges can be restored to a ‘like new’ condition.

We have some serious momentum happening, but a lot of things can still go wrong.  This is what I wrote on our Facebook page some time ago, and I think it still rings true:

“To repair our historic bridges, we need massive community support, local town leadership support, and leadership from Clinton and Essex Counties to communicate effectively and work to find a way to “Make” this happen. Save Keeseville’s Historic Bridges!”

Thank you for all of your support!
