First the farmer's market got moved downtown. Now the village elders are moving the fireworks, too. Quoth village board president Vincent Seeley in the Freeman:
“There is a potential public safety issue with cramming upwards of 3,000 people down at the boat launch with only one way in and one way out,” he said at a Village Board meeting on Monday. “The second thing is we wanted to bring more attention to our (Catskill Creek) waterfront because that has been part of our revitalization. We wanted to bring more attention to our downtown area.”
On the Catskill Daily Mail's website, opinion on a poll about the fireworks is running 77% against the move.
