Due to extreme weather advisories, local flooding today and impacted river communities, we are canceling the Hancock Farmers Market tomorrow Saturday August 10th and indeed all events in the Town Square to focus resources on public safety.
We look forward to seeing you all next Saturday August 17th at 10AM! Please stay home and safe, and avoid travel on all impacted roads and waterways! Due to recent flooding, water levels are expected to climb three feet on portions of the East Branch River, and West Branch upwards of 2 feet, according to forecasts from the National Weather Service. So please stay off the river when possible, and advise any neighbors and friends of the danger along the river, and roadways!
Delaware County has issued a State of Emergency as the heavy rains and wind from the remnants of Tropical Storm Debby swept the area.
Delaware County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Tina Mole said the State of Emergency was issued in the interest of public safety.
The county said flooding and winds have caused damage to its infrastructure and multiple roads have been deemed impassable. Therefore, the county issued a no-unnecessary travel order.
The order will be lifted at 8 a.m. on Aug. 10.

Bridges update 8/1

Lordville’s backwalls will not be poured until Monday or Tuesday. Ran into complications forming to the old concrete.
Bridges update,
67-21 is going to be quiet for the rest of this week. Just general cleanup, but it will not be closed to traffic at all anymore. It will remain under temporary red lights until we are complete. There may be temporary long delays (in addition to the red lights) as work is completed, but traffic will be able to get through. Milling is scheduled for Monday 8/5 with paving on 8/6. This is dependent on Cobleskill Stone Products schedule. Rain may delay the work. Once rail is up and the paving is complete we will be done and the road will go back to the regular 2 lane configuration. While CSP is in the area, we are going to mill and repave County Bridge 139, the bridge on West Main Street over Sands Creek, by the old Kaplan Motors.
