POTSDAM The town board has designated the St. Lawrence County Arts Council (SLC Arts) as the town of Potsdam’s local arts agency which will allow the agency to apply for federal grant funding.
SLC Arts Director Maggie McKenna gave a presentation to the town board at their meeting July 13, describing the work of the organization which manages the art exhibits hosted in the town office building on Elm Street, offers art education, and organizes numerous art events throughout the county.
McKenna also described the work the agency does to support art and creative endeavors in the entire North Country region by serving as a local distributor for State Council on the Arts dollars and other grants, and how they support organizations and populations which are traditionally underserved.

Information from the past two weeks regarding recreational opportunities in the town and village of Potsdam brought both cheers and jeers.
The good news is that the beach at Postwood Park in Hannawa Falls will open this season. The Town Board announced June 23 that it will assume âfull financial and operational responsibilityâ of the beach. This resolved a concern that the beach would not open this year.
Trey T. Smutz, director of recreation for the village of Potsdam, told members of the Potsdam Village Board of Trustees on June 21 that Postwood Beach was unsafe and under-staffed. He said the joint town/village recreation commission didnât have the necessary resources to clean the area and operate it; the beach is littered with glass and debris. On June 11, members of the Town Board received a letter from Smutz stating the beach would remain closed.
