Seton Education Council to discuss tuition
PLATTSBURGH — The Seton Academy Education Council will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the school library. Agenda items include a tuition proposal from the Finance Committee, requests for use of the school, the enrollment campaign for the 2009-10 school year, information from the Parents in Education group, the alumni drive and committee reports.
The meeting is open to all.
Small group attends final highway hearing
PLATTSBURGH — Only a handful of Clinton County residents turned out Thursday night to learn more about the Northern Tier Expressway study.
There were few suggestions made that related to the impact a four-lane expressway from Watertown and Rouses Point via Route 11 would have on Clinton County.
Those in attendance seemed to favor the possible interim improvements of additional bike paths and passing lanes, though some disagreed about where the new mile-long passing lanes were most needed.
The meeting was the final presentation scheduled to get community feedback about the study, which was conducted for the New York State Department of Transportation and Development Authority of the North Country.
Officials said the expressway could ultimately boost northern travel safety and economic development.
