North Greenbush schedules public meetings, retains bond counsel for proposed ambulance project
Summary
The Town Board approved retaining bond counsel and scheduled two public informational meetings as it advances planning for a proposed North Greenbush ambulance facility; officials estimated an 8–10 month earliest start and said more financial details will be released at the meetings.
The Town of North Greenbush on May 14 advanced planning for a proposed municipal ambulance project, approving retention of bond counsel and scheduling two public informational meetings to present details on cost, finance and timeline.
Supervisor Bott introduced Ambulance Commissioner Jim Gordon and representatives from the Finney Group and the North Greenbush Ambulance Association (NGAA). Councilman Gordon said the town has allocated land for the project and estimated it could begin in about "8 to 10 months." Bott said the board was "looking forward to sharing the information with all on the project." The board approved Resolution 2026-05-51 to retain Hodgson Russ LLP as bond counsel and Resolution 2026-05-52 to schedule public meetings.
The town announced two informational sessions: June 1 at the Defreestville Fire Department and June 8 at town hall. Officials said those meetings will include more detailed cost and financing information. The board also introduced representatives identified as Ed Anker (Finney Group), Ryan French and Kathleen Allen (NGAA) who will participate in the public briefings.
The board took the votes required to move the project into an initial public/finance phase rather than approving construction or financing terms. Board members voted by roll call to retain bond counsel and to schedule the meetings; all members present voted in favor.
Next steps: the informational meetings are intended to give residents details about project costs and financing options and to collect public feedback before the board considers authorizing official financing or construction actions.
