Senior Center News

According to reliable inside sources. The Town of Fishkill Senior Center will be short around $30,000 this month. This will have significant impact as Fishkill is already broke and all revenue is needed to pay bills.

Also note that the Senior Center was bonded out for $3.6 million. So far it has been paid for using development fees, called the Parkland Trust Fund. According to the Fishkill Comptroller, there is about 2 years left of payments in that trust. As development dwindles in Fishkill, it appears that Fishkill Fishkill residents will be on the hook for those payments very soon.

Note: Fishkill's energy bills have went from $150,000 to $300,000. This is clearly in part of the new Senior Center. It was built to use electric for heating and cooling. There is also no back up generators, and cannot be used for a emergency shelter. This was built using bad planning.

Just think of all the money that could have been saved using Geo-Thermal energy.
