On March 14, the New Milford borough council hosted an informational meeting regarding a natural gas pipeline, with a representative of Leatherstocking present. Mr. Carey introduced the event, saying that the point of the evening was to give all the residents of New Milford enough information to make an informed decision for themselves. He, in turn, introduced Mr. Ainey as the moderator of the discussion.

Mr. Ainey, in turn, provided some background information on the borough’s relationship with Leatherstocking. He explained that Leatherstocking and UGI had both applied for a franchise from the PUC to lay gas pipeline in 13 boroughs, of which New Milford was one. It had come to the council’s attention that neither of the two companies had any specific plans for New Milford borough. Therefore, council members had contacted the PUC and related their concerns, contacted the commissioners, and sent letters to both Leatherstocking and UGI (asking what their plans were for New Milford borough). Leatherstocking had responded with information on plans; UGI had not done so.

On March 20th 2014, Hallstead Borough held their monthly meeting. All but one Council member were in attendance at the meeting.

Catch basins and pot holes were a large topic of discussion, as many as twenty-five catch basins around the Borough are either badly damaged or caving in. The Borough agreed to re-do a certain amount of them each year, until they are all re-done. These include catch basins on Wellington Street, Rose Street, Susquehanna Street, Wright and Chase Avenue, Pine and Lusk Lane.
