What’s New From
Mayor Tom Howley

April 22, 2024

Dear Residents,

“I want to remind everyone that after Matt Buckley’s recent resignation I was appointed by the current Village Board to serve as Mayor for the remainder of the year. First of all, I would like to thank Mayor Buckley for his dedication to our Village and to his steadfast determination to ensuring that our lake quality remains at the highest possible level for both residents and guests. I look forward to serving all the residents of Greenwood Lake in the coming months.”

Howley moved to Greenwood Lake in 1971 with his wife. After serving in the US Army he returned in 1979 when they began raising their family. For several decades he has been strong supporter of youth activities which many expect that he will continue to support throughout his tenure as mayor.

There are many initiatives going on especially during spring to get the Village ready for the summer season, starting with the Spring Cleanup that occurred last weekend. In addition there is a busy week scheduled this week:

We Need Volunteers

Why Volunteer? These Groups Need Our Help

Attention Residents: Keep Your Garbage Secure – Bears in the Area!

Friendly reminder: With warmer weather approaching, bears are becoming more active in our community. To keep both you and the bears safe, it’s important to properly secure your garbage.

Here’s how you can help:

Use bear-proof containers: If available in your area, invest in a sturdy, latching container specifically designed to keep bears out.
Store trash indoors until disposal day: The closer garbage gets to collection day, the less attractive it becomes to bears. Don’t put your trash out the night before pickup.
Double bag your garbage: This adds an extra layer of protection and makes it less appealing for bears to tear into.
Clean up spills and messes: Food scraps and lingering odors can attract bears. Keep your garbage cans clean and disinfect them regularly.
Compost food scraps: Consider composting food scraps instead of throwing them away. This reduces the amount of attractive food sources for bears.

Remember: A fed bear is a dangerous bear. By taking these simple precautions, we can help keep our community safe and discourage bears from relying on human food sources.

Thank you for your cooperation!
