SCOTIA Contract awarded to install new dock BY MICHAEL GOOT Gazette Reporter Reach Gazette reporter Michael Goot at 395-3105 or mgoot@dailygazette.net.
Another phase of Scotia’s riverfront beautification project will soon fall into place. The Board of Trustees last week awarded a contract to The Dock Doctors of Lake George for $219,000 to install a new dock along the Mohawk River. There will be 220 feet of dock frontage with slips for about eight boats, hookups for water and electricity and two gangways. The company was the lowest bidder for the project, according to Mayor Kris Kastberg. The fi gure does not include the cost for water and electric hookups. The Dock Doctors is the same company that did the docks at the Water’s Edge Lighthouse Restaurant, according to Kastberg. Village officials have been working to spruce up the riverfront for several years. The first phase of the improvements, completed last year, involved stabilizing roughly a half-mile of eroding shoreline along Schonowee Avenue between Jumpin’ Jack’s drive-in restaurant and Washington Road near the former sewage treatment plant. Now, the focus is on more aesthetic improvements, including installing a new walkway along the river and Freedom Park, creating a bike path, adding historic-looking street lighting and demolishing the old wastewater treatment plant. “Our goal is to have work done before the summer season started,” Kastberg said. In addition, Kastberg said the Lions Club is interested in doing a community service project to spruce up the area near the bridge abutment by Schonowee and Washington avenues. ......................>>>>.........................>>>>.........................http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r01003&AppName=1

Happy Days are here again.
Will it be happy days for the homeowners who lose their homes because they can't afford the taxes?
Will it be happey for those who have to cut back on ESSENTIAL prescriptions because they can't afford them because they are paying for a NON--ESSENTIAL dock?
DV, grow up, A dock is NOT A NECESSITY.
Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.
