Warren County mourns the passing of Lake George Supervisor Dennis Dickinson
Members of the Warren County Board of Supervisors offer their deepest condolences to the loved ones of Lake George Supervisor Dennis Dickinson, who passed away late Wednesday.
Supervisor Dickinson had been the Lake George Town Supervisor since 2012, having won re-election to a new term last fall. He also served as Lake George Town Supervisor between 1979-1982. Town supervisors sit on the Warren County Board of Supervisors as well.
He chaired the Board of Supervisors Occupancy Tax Coordination Committee for a number of years, and was a longtime member of the Tourism Committee as well. He was also integrally involved in environmental initiatives to have a boat inspection program on Lake George and to reduce use of road salt in the Lake George Basin.
Supervisor Dickinson also co-chaired the county’s American Rescue Plan Act Committee from 2021-23, helping choose where to allocate $12.4 million in federal relief funds.
Said Kevin Geraghty, Warrensburg Town Supervisor and Chairman of the Warren County Board of Supervisors: "Dennis Dickinson was a good friend and leader who will be greatly missed by all of us here at Warren County. He dedicated much of his life to Lake George and Warren County, and was a champion for preserving Lake George water quality, through his years as an elected official and in his private sector career in civil engineering and land surveying. His leadership in Warren County's tourism industry helped guide the Lake George region through the hard times of the COVID-19 pandemic. We offer our deepest condolences to his loved ones. Dennis will be sorely missed."
The Town of Lake George will determine Supervisor Dickinson’s successor. The Warren County Board of Supervisors plans a moment of silence in his honor at the April 19, 2024 meeting.
