Gloversville will pay $25k to establish homeless shelter | The Daily Gazette
SECTIONS
GLOVERSVILLE The Common Council voted 7-0 Tuesday night to contribute $25,000 toward the establishment of a Code Blue temporary homeless shelter to operate between Jan. 15 and April 30 at 144 E. Fulton St.
Tuesday’s council vote came after months of wrangling over the issue of where a homeless shelter should be established in Gloversville.
“We’ve been working very hard on finding an alternative location that would be acceptable for the Code Blue shelter, other than the 33 Bleecker St. site,” Mayor Vince DeSantis told the council. “This is enabled by virtue of the change in the zoning law that we effectuated Jan. 1, which allowed Code Blue shelters in the commercial zone.”

Dear Santa Claus,
The music of Christmas surrounds us now. The joy of the season is with us. But I am sure you know about that evil coronavirus spreading across the land.
So be sure to wear a mask. Don’t sit around in any crowded places. Just keep moving.
There are some people who need special gifts this year. Could you bring some soft pillows for all the health care providers to rest on? That is, if they ever have time to take a nap!
