GLOVERSVILLE – The Gloversville Housing Authority Board of Directors on Thursday voted to hire Jason Mazur to a four-year contract to serve as the authority’s sixth executive director since 2017.
Mazur, a Johnstown resident, said his most recent job had been working as warehouse supervisor at the Dollar General distribution plant in the town of Florida in charge of shipping operations. He said over the last 15 years he’s worked in managerial positions for three different businesses, all related to distribution.
“This position is obviously going to be new it’s a change of career field for me,” he said. “It’s a challenge. It seems like a role I can embrace. I’m good with people. I understand financials.”

GLOVERSVILLE – The Gloversville Housing Authority met Monday night and went into executive session for more than an hour and half to discuss the appointment of a new executive director, but then emerged from the closed door meeting without having hired anyone.
After the meeting, GHA Board President Brenda Liett said the board hopes to resolve the vacancy soon. “We want the director replaced as soon as possible, but I can’t give you any other information,” she said.
Former GHA Director Amanda Ossenfort left the authority in April, a little more than six months after inking a four-year deal to oversee the authority’s three low-income and senior housing apartment complexes.

GLOVERSVILLE The Gloversville Housing Authority has implemented new policies and procedures in recent weeks to address residents’ concerns surrounding coronavirus health safety measures.
Residents of the senior towers raised health safety concerns to the GHA Board of Commissioners in October citing a lack of common protections against the coronavirus in their buildings, despite the housing authority’s receipt of multiple rounds of Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act funding through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Public housing authorities across the country in the spring and summer were provided CARES Act funding “to prepare for, prevent and respond to the coronavirus outbreak.” The GHA received $27,746 in May and $34,143 in August.
