Mburgh Parking Lot Nearing Completion

MIDDLEBURGH - Though the December snows have begun, the new parking lot on Railroad Avenue is nearing completion.

At their special meeting Monday, Middleburgh village board members approved a quote from Oakhill Landscaping for $5,426 to install a fence at the 111 Railroad Avenue parking lot. The old "chalet" building was taken down during the summer to make room for the parking lot.

Mayor Tim Knight said the parking lot is "nearing completion. The only steps remaining are to place gravel, install signage, and have our contractor install the privacy fence."

All four available parking permits have been claimed by Railroad Avenue residents, meaning there will be six spots open for the general public, the Mayor said.

In other action, board members Monday:

* Scheduled a ribbon cutting for Windswept Farm Apothecary for Saturday, December 20 at 1pm.

* Thanked Stephen Hoerz for his hard work in decorating the Village Park by the bridge.
