POTSDAM Some senior residents at the apartments run by the Canton Housing Authority are calling on the village to appoint a new housing authority board to handle what they view as poor conditions in the facilities.
Several residents, along with the director of the county Office for Aging, voiced concerns at the village board meeting Wednesday, April 22. They spoke about the state of affairs in the apartments and what the residents called a lack of attention by management.
However, during a separate conversation with North Country This Week on Thursday, the authority’s executive director, Amanda St. Marie, said even with the COVID-related challenges of the last year in the senior housing facility, she and her office have been available to residents. Maintenance and security concerns are being addressed, she said.
