CALLICOON - After announcing a $50,000 grant for river projects for towns along the Delaware River, Senator John Bonacic last week announced another $50,000 will go to the Town of Delaware for new sidewalks in Callicoon.

"This part of the county sometimes can be the forgotten place," Bonacic said. "We want to change that." Bonacic also stated that requests for the funding to improve the sidewalks came from several local officials.

"This is a very welcome project that will help the hamlet considerably," said Rosie DeCristofaro former president of the Callicoon Business Association.

"The Callicoon business area plays a critical role in the economy of the Town of Delaware," added councilman Brad Mallett.
