The town board has giving its blessing to the following projects:
J. Levitt development is building behind the ball field off Route 86. This is 40+ lots. They still have not sold all the lots, nor the model house (which is now 2 years old) from the Fox Farm development. I guess that $60,000 for a lot and $379,000 for a house rules out the Wilmington locals!
On the burner---
The building of Town Houses along the beach road. It appears they are going to put up 4 buildings, with 6 units in each, although they can only build 1 at-a-time. I hope the new residents of these condo-units enjoy the summer beach concerts - or, perhaps, with all their money, those concerts will become a thing of the past...
Also in the works---
A development across from the Inn and next to Ledge Rock. It appears to be something like 12 condo-type places - time will tell.
Many folks settled in Wilmington because it was not "Lake Placid". It was just a small, quiet hidden jewel of a town. This appears to be changing, and that is quite sad.
Maybe the town board should wake up and look at places like Aspen, Breckenridge and Jackson Hole and other small ski towns taken over by outsiders with deep pockets! I'm sure The Bear has his hand in this whole "development" thing and is keeping his pockets lined as well!

How to post a follow-up message
The Warbler has learned through the grapevine that people who wish to reply to messages do not know how to set up an anonymous account to facilitate posting. I will explain how you can do this.
You may want to "Print" this entry so you can follow the directions.
1) In the upper right corner of this page, click on the thing that says: "Create Blog".
2) Type in your "Email address" where it says to. This will *not* be shared with anyone (it says this on the right hand side). No one will be able to know it's you who is posting.
3) Retype your Email address in the box below the first one.
4) Pick a password that you'll remember and enter in the "Enter a password", and
in the "Retype password" box just below.
5) Pick a "Display name". This is the name that will appear next to your posts. Avoid putting your real name in here, unless you want everyone to know who you are. A catchy name is nice. For example, if "The Bear" wanted to create an account, he could use "The Bear" as the Display name.
6) In the box that says, "Word Verification", retype the word it shows in the box. The word may be hard to read, but this is done for security purposes.
7) Click the "Acceptance of Terms" box.
8) Press the orange "Continue" arrow on the bottom.
9) On the next page, pick a title for your BLOG - this can be anything you want. "The Bear's Blog" would be suitable for "The Bear".
10) For Blog Address (URL), enter your display as one word, for example: TheBear
11) Press the Orange Continue arrow at the bottom.
12) On the next page, "Choose a template", just press the Orange Continue arrow.
13) It will create your blog, and you should then press the "Start Blogging" button.
14) You can then just go to the "wilmwarbler.blogspot.com" website, read the blogs there, and
post follow-ups if you want!
It's that simple! Enjoy and contribute! Let the town know what YOU think!

Wilmington Health Care
It's funny how and for whom the town pays health care benefits. The part-time elected "officials" receive full health care. Someone like Hammer & Nails, who works two part-time town jobs doesn't get health care coverage. Seems Wilmington government works the same way as big government... take care of yourself first, and let everyone fend for themselves.
Under their skin?
It seems the Warbler is getting under someone's skin in the town. This person keeps taking down the publicly posted Warbler information sheet at the Post Office. I think we all know who is most likely ripping them down, but the Warbler can put them up just as fast they're ripped down. There are other places in town to post things - I hope this person knows to check the other locations too!

Building Fees
It seems there are a lot of building related fees, doesn't it? Lots of nickel and dime stuff. Maybe Hammer & Nails figures if he collects enough fees, the town will buy him a truck so he doesn't have to use his own car, or maybe he figures if he can keep busy going from site to site collecting fees, he can get away from the stench of the dump. In any event, I know there is a need for some fees, like if you're building a house or barn or some other sizable structure, but let's stop with the silly stuff - it just aggravates us all.
