Poll Middleburgh Fastest Growing Community

MIDDLEBURGH - According to a recent survey of Schoharie News readers, when asked which community they believed was the fastest growing in Schoharie County, Middleburgh was selected by a significant margin over both the county's economic hub of Cobleskill and a revitalized Sharon Springs.

The Valley community has grown exponentially since the devastating effects of Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee, due in part to the pro-active approach of local elected officials on both the village and town level and the resiliency of businesses and residents alike to recover. 

With more than one hundred and fifty votes cast, 45% of respondents believed that Middleburgh is the county's fastest growing community compared with only 23% who thought the same of Cobleskill and 17% that said Sharon Springs was tops.  

The poll was open for seven days and was located on the right-hand sidebar of the website.
