Summary
The board acknowledged filming dates Sept. 7 and Sept. 17–19 and discussed potential road closures in the Village of Tannersville, including a possible Rte. 23A closure for a parade scene on the Labor Day weekend. Supervisor Mahoney requested department heads check permit needs; Councilman Semenza noted prior film closures elsewhere affected local businesses.
The Town Board acknowledged receipt of a feature‑film schedule with shooting dates in the town and village in September and discussed potential traffic impacts. Meeting minutes list filming dates Sept. 7, 17, 18 and 19 and note a possible closure of Route 23A in the Village of Tannersville during the Labor Day weekend for a parade scene.
Supervisor Mahoney asked department heads whether any town permits would be required. Councilman Dolph Semenza cautioned that when crews filmed in other villages, road closures cut off businesses and crews brought food trucks that affected local commerce. The board did not vote on permits at the Aug. 13 meeting; permit needs and road‑closure logistics were left for follow-up with department heads.
