        Glenville, New York

  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  intent  of this Legislative Body to honor and
commemorate  the  distinguished  histories  of  the  communities   which
comprise the noble body of this great Empire State; and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to
commemorate  the  200th  Anniversary of the Town of Glenville, New York;
and

  WHEREAS, This auspicious occasion will be  observed  throughout  the
year, and on April 14, 2020, the Town celebrated a virtual birthday bash
at Wolf Hollow Brewing Company; and

  WHEREAS,  Located in the north-west end of Schenectady County laying
on the north bank of the Mohawk River, the Town of Glenville was  formed
by virtue of the Act of 1820; the first town meeting was held on January
2,  1821, and Albert Vedder was selected as the Town's first Supervisor;
and

  WHEREAS, Glenville (which includes the Village of Scotia) has  grown
to  be  a  town  of 50 square miles and nearly 30,000 residents boasting
stellar parks, a vibrant and growing business community,  and  wonderful
neighborhoods; and

  WHEREAS,  Glenville is named after Alexander Lindsay Glen, who was a
native of Scotland, and acquired a large tract of land in  the  area  in
the 1650s; and

  WHEREAS,   Alplaus,   Hoffmans,  East  Glenville,  Scotia,  Stoodley
Corners, and West Glenville comprise the several communities within  the
Town  of  Glenville offering residents and visitors alike, a diverse mix
of residential living, farms, retail outlets and recreation; and

  WHEREAS, Remaining fruitful over the ebb  and  flow  of  decades  of
growth  and  change,  the  Town of Glenville continues its commitment to
enhancing the quality of life  of  its  citizens,  ensuring  a  positive
business,  institutional  and  educational  climate,  and  providing all
essential services; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
commemorate  the  200th  Anniversary of the Town of Glenville, New York,
recognizing the significance of the role it continues  to  play  in  the
life of the community of the State of New York; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  copies  of  this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Chris Koetzle, Supervisor, Town of Glenville, and Members
