From the office of Assemblyman Billy Jones
Assemblyman Billy Jones (D-Chateaugay Lake) announced that construction on the Harison Place Project in Malone has begun. The project will create an affordable, mixed-use complex with 40 apartments and five commercial spaces in the Franklin County village of Malone.
“I’m excited to be here for the groundbreaking of construction for the new Harison Place Project coming to the Village of Malone,” said Assemblyman Jones. “This project was undertaken to further expand the affordable housing stock here in the North Country. The development of Harison Place will provide stable, affordable housing to families that need it most and help to revitalize the downtown area. This project will anchor the economic development and revitalization of Malone that will bring more opportunities to local residents, and I will continue to work with state agencies and our communities to bring more projects like these to our region.”
The $21.7 million project is beginning construction following demolishing five blighted buildings in the area. Harison Place will be affordable to households making 60% or less of the area median income, allowing the four-story building to be accessible to as many as possible. Of the 40 total apartments, half will be reserved for households needing individualized support services, funded through the Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative and administered by the New York State Office of Mental Health.

Plattsburgh, NY, July 19, 2022 Hudson Headwaters Health Network’s Tupper Lake Family Health, Saranac Lake Family Health, and Pediatric and Adolescent Health are officially designated as New York State Breastfeeding Friendly Practices! Currently, ten out of twenty-two Hudson Headwaters locations have achieved this designation. These practices were supported in this effort by the Creating Breastfeeding Friendly Communities (CBFC) grant at the Clinton County Health Department.
As part of the process, the network has implemented policies and procedures such as; ongoing staff training, maintaining a chest/breastfeeding-friendly office environment and facilitating internal and external referral opportunities for mothers and infants. Hudson Headwaters promotes a culture within all of its offices that support chest/breastfeeding as the best way to feed one’s baby.
Brooke Castine RN, MS, Northern Clinical Nurse Educator and Network Chest/Breastfeeding Champion with Hudson Headwaters, says, “This designation enables health center staff to guide and assist North Country families with chest/breastfeeding support. Our ongoing relationship with the Clinton County Health Department has helped us to prepare other centers to soon receive this distinction as well.” Read more »

JOIN US – Tomorrow night – Tuesday July 19th at the Lake Forest Senior Living Community, at 6:30 pm for, “The History of the Lozier Family and Company in Plattsburgh,” presented by Richard Soper.
The program will focus on the history of the Lozier family and the Lozier Motor Company in Plattsburgh and is free and open to the public.
Henry Abram Lozier was an Indiana-born sewing machine and bicycle manufacturer. After selling his bicycle business, Lozier moved to Plattsburgh in 1900 to manufacture boats and marine engines. In 1905 Henry Abram Lozier Jr. started manufacturing the Lozier automobiles.
Loziers were top of the line luxury cars and for a time were the most expensive cars produced in the United States. The 1910 model year featured cars priced between $4,600 and $7,750. That same year, a Cadillac could be bought for about $1,600 and a Packard for about $3,200. A pre-assembly line Ford Model T of the same year retailed at approximately $850 and the average annual salary in America was approximately $750.
Mr. Soper was born in Plattsburgh and served in the US Air Force, stationed in Germany, in the field of Communication. His vast experiences in the area of transportation included work at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft in Connecticut where he built jet aircraft engines. He also worked at Bombardier Transportation building passenger rail cars. From 2006 to 2018 he worked at the Champlain Valley Transportation Museum as Director of Exhibits. He currently is on the CCHA Board of Trustees.
The Lake Forest Senior Living Community is located at 8 Lake Forest Drive in Plattsburgh. For additional information or questions, contact: Helen Nerska, Director at 518-561-0340 or director@clintoncountyhistorical.org

State tax receipts totaled $34.4 billion through the first quarter of State Fiscal Year 2022-23, exceeding the Division of the Budget’s (DOB) Enacted Budget Financial Plan forecast by $1.7 billion, according to the monthly State Cash Report released by State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli.
“The revenue news for New York was positive for the first quarter,” DiNapoli said. “However, economic headwinds are increasing, and may alter the trajectory for the remainder of the fiscal year. Bolstering rainy day reserve funds on or ahead of the schedule included in the Enacted Budget Financial Plan should be a priority.”
State Tax Collections Through June 30
(in millions of dollars)
Personal income tax (PIT) receipts totaled $21.6 billion and were $1.7 billion above DOB’s financial plan projections through the first quarter. However, PIT receipts were $540.5 million lower than the same period in SFY 2021-22, reflecting, in part, the effects of the Pass-Through Entity Tax (PTET), which allows certain taxpayers to make business tax payments rather than personal income tax payments.
