Public hearing supports naming second floor of county office building in honor of longtime county employee
Summary
A single speaker, Butch Denner, urged the legislature to name the second floor of the county office building the Ulster County Clerk’s Office in the Neenerpostorpeck Historical Center to honor a longtime local public servant and role model.
During a public hearing on naming a county‑owned asset, resident Butch Denner urged legislators to name the second floor of the county office building the Ulster County Clerk’s Office in the Neenerpostorpeck Historical Center in honor of a local civic leader referred to as Nina.
Denner recounted personal memories of the nominee’s longtime public service and described moments of civic connection and quiet leadership, including the nominee’s work with veterans and community organizations. “Her humility, of course, is well known,” Denner said, adding that the symbolic naming “gives comfort to a lot of people.” He said the naming would be meaningful to older residents and to the nominee’s family.
Why this matters: symbolic namings commemorate local service and provide public recognition; the legislature held the hearing and will consider the naming in subsequent actions.
Next steps: The public hearing closed with a single speaker; the legislature did not record a final vote on the naming at this meeting.
Ending: Supporters said the naming would honor decades of community service and provide a lasting public acknowledgment of the nominee’s contributions.
