During this month’s Hallstead Borough Council meeting at which five of the seven council members were present, the majority of the meeting revolved around the need to replace the memorial trees. The memorial trees were planted in memory of veterans that were killed in the line of duty. These trees are not receiving enough sun light therefore new trees that need less sunlight, will need to replace the trees after these are removed. The Council stated they would need to discuss this matter with the local American Legion since these trees are on their property, before the final decision can be made as to the removal and replacement specifics.

On January 17 from 10:00 – 2:00 the public had an opportunity to tour New Milford Township's renovated borough building at an open house and ribbon cutting event.  The project, roughly 75% of which was funded by a grant from DEC, included a remodeling of and an addition to the existing space. The space was handicapped accessible, and sported new electric wiring and a gas furnace.  In case of an emergency, the building could be used as an emergency command center, with a recently purchased generator and updated internet.
