The Warren County Board of Supervisors held its monthly meeting for January on Friday, and Board of Supervisors Chairman Kevin Geraghty, the Town Supervisor from Warrensburg, offered the "State of the County" address for 2025.
Major accomplishments for 2024, such as increased budgeting for highway maintenance and SUNY Adirondack, startup of a shuttle bus program for seniors and veterans, significant progress toward a new comprehensive plan, increased grant funding and new labor contracts with staff, were spotlighted. In addition, Warren County took over waste hauling for most towns in the county starting in January 2025, which will save those communities significant money.
Priorities for 2025 were outlined, with continued focus on growth of tourism revenue and attraction of new businesses, improvement to cellphone coverage where needed and continued work to address emergency medical service gaps identified as some of the top issues facing the county this year.
"We still have a lot of pockets that don't have cell service and we are working on that," Geraghty noted.
