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 community.
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 2009, 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.
