WELCOME TO OUR COMMUNITY
The Mountain
Lodge Park & Glenwood Hills Residents Association, Inc. is going into
it's 5th year. Although we have not accomplished all the things we
wanted to do, we all realize that the wheels of progress grind slowly
and looking back over the past four years, we have made more progress
than we realized.
To date, we have:
1) Officially registered as a New York
State, Tax Exempt, Not-for-Profit organization.
2) Secured an I.R.S.
501(c)(3) for Tax Exempt and Grant Application Status.
3) Secured a
Non-Profit Bulk Mailing Permit with the U.S.P.S. to reduce mailing
costs.
4) Established a community based Youth Group to afford our
youngsters a guided recreation program.
5) Sponsored and ran three
successful community Clean-Ups which removed tons of hazardous and
unsightly trash from our comunity.
6) Sponsored and ran three successful
"Meet the Candidates Night" to better inform our residents of their
political choices.
7) Established a "Neighborhood Watch Program"
to ensure a safer community and to established a liaison with the
Blooming Grove Police.
8) Continuously work with the Building
Inspectors office to have abandoned buildings repaired or removed.
9)
Had 30 MPH Speed Limit Signs put up on Mt. Lodge & Glenwood Roads for
the safety of all residents.
10) Had the Highway Department paint the
double yellow lines on Mt. Lodge and Glenwood Road at the request of the
residents.
11) Worked with the Town to have the abandoned P.O.A.
property recalimed by the Town, had the old pool area filled in and had
the entire area leveled and seeded for future development as a Town
Park.
12) Pressured the Highway Department to repair ditches and
culverts along Mt. Lodge and Glenwood Road and to widen road areas where
erosion collapsed the road surface.
13) Fought to have Mt. Lodge &
Glenwood Roads resurfaced in 2007.
14) Petitioned and gained the
installation of security lighting for the mailbox area at Glenwood & Mt.
Lodge Road.
15) Erected a new "Welcome to Glenwood Hills" sign at the
bottom of Glenwood Road.
16) Set up and maintain an award winning web
site for the MLPGHRA.org to keep residents informed and to provide
helpful & necessary information about the community.
17) Laid the
groundwork for the future installation of the Mt. Lodge & Glenwood Hills
Lighting District, which will put street lights at all trail & road
intersections.
18) Established a Park Committee to determine the needs
for the new Town/Community Park and to actively engage in the planning
and fund raising for this project.
19) Established the Road
Committee to seek the ways & means of upgrading the road infrastructure
for all trails and roads in Mt. Lodge & Glenwood Hills with the eventual
goal of having all trails widened and surfaced.
20) Actively working
with the Town, Board of Health, State & Federal Officials to have a
community wide "Waste Water Treatment" system for our community.
The project is already under way and is expected to be completed within
the next five years or less.
21) Spearheaded the "Yager Family
Fund" to help one of our neighbors who lost their home and possessions
in a near fatal fire in December. This effort proved that the community
can come together as one for a common cause.
In 2008, we intend to pursue the projects and plans we have
already initiated, concentrating on the Roads, Lighting, Park
Development and Sewer System. We hope all residents join the Association
to show their support and have a say in your community development.
