Reporter's Notebook: Delaware County gets new numbers

The Delaware County offices are getting new phone numbers and though the offices are all located in Delhi, they are being assigned the Bovina 832 exchange.

The phone system is being installed because the county has outgrown its current phone system and new lines were needed. However, there weren't enough numbers left in the 746 exchange to accommodate the transition.

Lori Koronowski, Board of Supervisors assistant clerk, said the new system has only been installed in the offices at 111 Main Street, which includes the Department of Social Services, Building and Maintenance, the Treasurer's Office, Real Property Tax, Information Technology, Fiscal Affairs, the Clerk of the Board and the print shop.

Koronowski said the current numbers will stay in service for about a year; when the entire changeover is finished, a new directory of listings and extensions will be completed.

The new 2009 Delaware County Directory of County, Town and Village Officials was printed just before the new numbers went into use, so the new numbers are not included in the directory.

Dean Frazier, Delaware County Watershed Affairs Commissioner, and Glenn Nealis, county Economic and Industrial Development director, held a press conference Wednesday to review the recently released New York City Watershed Economic Impact Assessment Report compiled by the Downeast Development Consulting Group.

The study was done to try to measure the impact of New York City's land-acquisition program in Delaware County. The complete report and the executive summary are both available online at www.delcowatershed.com or at www.dcecodev.com

After doing an hourlong presentation going through charts, graphs and maps documenting population trends, the amount of building, growth in the economy, job creation, industries, income, housing costs and other factors, Frazier said the fact that surprised him the most was that although Delaware County is thought of as agriculturally based, two to three manufacturing companies provide 60 percent of the employment in the county.

Frazier added that "ag is still the preferred land use."

Nealis added that another surprising fact is there is a perception of rapid growth in new housing in Delaware County, but the number of building permits issued in the county has been flat for about 1992.

There is a phone survey being conducted in Delaware County to get additional input from residents, and then presentations about the entire fact-finding mission will be held throughout the county.

Weather seems to be the main topic of conversation everywhere you go, with most people yearning for a few sunny days.

In recent years, Delaware County has had its fair share of extreme weather between flooding, ice storms and wind storms, but the hail that pelted the area recently left more than just an impression.

The hail storm that went through the valley from Walton to Delhi left everything temporarily covered with white balls of ice, but the most astounding thing was that there were still piles of frozen hail heaped around buildings 16 to 18 hours after the storm, which seemed rather amazing in June.
