Blooming Grove Ambulance Corps Authorization for Move to Highway Dept. Property in the Works
The necessity for the Town of Blooming Grove to relocate its Ambulance Corps has been in discussions for several years. Their current location on North Street in the Village of Washingtonville has become increasingly treacherous during times of high traffic as Village traffic continues to grow, and being just a block from its center puts both ambulance personnel and the public at risk. When a serious emergency calls for their urgent action the Route 208/Route 94 Intersection is at times congested by commuter and school traffic. The North Street site is also a cramped space with no space to grow. Meanwhile, the Blooming Grove Highway Department has ample acreage to accommodate their needs and any future growth. Officials spent time this year mapping out site plans to ensure that both entities will be able to enter and exit the site without interfering with each other. And so, the Blooming Grove Town Board passed the following resolution on Tuesday evening (July 3, 2024).

Supervisor Warns that Influx of Storms With Downed Wires & Flooding Require an Abundance of Caution
An assortment of trees and electric wires came down and started a fire. at the corner of Greycourt and Craigville Roads on June 24. Blooming Grove Supervisor, Rob Jeroloman warned that the recent upsurge in quickly moving violent storms can result in life-threatening situations in seconds, and he asks residents to use extreme caution. For instance, last week the down wires on Craigville Road also initiated a fire. Some streets and roads, as in the Craigville instance, have a complexity of wires, and when they come down no one but an electrical representative should guess which wires are cable and which are electric, it could be a guess causing death.
