AMSTERDAM What might be a quick trip to the grocery store to pick up necessities for some people can be an all-day task for families in the city who lack access to public transportation, according to John Sumpter, director of youth outreach at Creative Connections Clubhouse.
“I think it is very important to bring the city bus back to Amsterdam. We have a lot of families out here that need it,” Sumpter said.
Sumpter joined over a dozen community members and local officials outside of Creative Connections on East Main Street on Wednesday imploring state and federal officials to approve plans that would extend CDTA services to the city and Montgomery County.

For many, Great Sacandaga Lake was refuge during pandemic | The Daily Gazette

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 led to the cancelation of annual events around the Great Sacandaga Lake and put a lot of businesses at risk.
But the Great Sacandaga Lake region was also helped, according to Fulton-Montgomery Regional Chamber of Commerce President Mark Kilmer, because many of the houses dotting the reservoir’s 115 miles of shoreline are second homes and camps for out-of-town people, many of them hailing from New York City and northern New Jersey.
That area was the worst-hit in the country during the early part of the pandemic, so that meant many folks who have properties around the lake came up earlier than normal, Kilmer said. Working and going to school remotely meant these families could take advantage of the “natural social distancing,” he said, as opposed to being stuck in their city homes.
