The Town of Clinton, NY, held a government meeting on May 10, 2025, to discuss the proposed new facility for the Emergency Services Fire Department (ECFD). The meeting highlighted the need for the new facility and its potential benefits, including increased community interest and volunteer participation.
During the discussion, a representative emphasized that the current staffing levels are minimal and that new facilities could attract more volunteers to the station. The urgency of the project was underscored, with officials stating, "We're doing this because we need to do this." The community's support was deemed essential for the project's success.
To ensure transparency and community engagement, the presentation was recorded and will be made available online. A link to the video will be posted on the fire district's website, and efforts are being made to include it on the town's website as well. This initiative aims to keep residents informed about the project and its implications.
Additionally, a follow-up session is scheduled for May 21 at 7 PM at the firehouse. This meeting will provide an opportunity for community members to ask questions and gain further insights into the facility's plans.
The discussions from this meeting reflect a proactive approach by the Town of Clinton to enhance its emergency services and engage the community in the process.
