Work has started in collaboration through a public/private partnership with the Clinton County American Legion, consisting of all the American Legion Posts within the county. Join us to learn more about the Battlefield Memorial Gateway, its objectives and how it will share the history of our area.

From the office of Assemblyman Billy Jones

            Governor Kathy Hochul today signed a bill (A8445a/S7504a) sponsored by Assemblyman Billy Jones (D-Chateaugay Lake) to rename the bridges located on Interstate 87 over the Saranac River after Trooper Brian S. Falb. Trooper Falb died of cancer stemming from his duties during the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Jones introduced the bill last year after the Town of Plattsburgh passed a resolution in support of renaming these bridges in honor of Trooper Falb’s memory.

            Trooper Brian S. Falb moved to the North Country when he was in college. After he graduated from the Police Academy in 1998, Falb decided to start his career and raise his family in the region. He tirelessly served the community for 18 years until his death in March 2017.

“Trooper Falb was a true American hero and the least the State could do was rename the bridges over the Saranac River on Interstate 87 in his honor,” said Jones. “Nothing can truly express the North Country’s gratitude to Falb for giving the ultimate sacrifice when our country was under attack but renaming the bridges will ensure that his memory and legacy will be preserved for generations to come. Now all travelers on the Northway will see Trooper Falb’s name on these bridges and will be inspired by his patriotism and dedication to his communities.”

“For everyone else in New York state: If you see a pet in a car on a hot day, you’ll have to call 911 to respond to the situation. If you break into a car, you could face up to 18 months in prison for criminal mischief, as well as charges for theft, burglary or trespassing — animals are considered property — plus a lawsuit for any damage caused to the car.”
