Bill > J00064

This resolution commemorates the 225th anniversary of the Town of Lowville, New York, recognizing its rich historical and economic significance. Settled in 1798 by settlers from Westfield, Massachusetts, the town was officially formed in 1800 from the Town of Mexico in Oswego County and was named after Nicholas Low, a Dutch immigrant landowner. The resolution highlights Lowville's agricultural and industrial development, noting how its fertile Black River Flats supported dairy farming and how transportation infrastructure like the Black River Canal and various railroads helped industries flourish, including major businesses like QubicaAMF (a bowling pin manufacturer) and Kraft (a cream cheese plant). The document also celebrates the town's modern achievements, such as the Maple Ridge Wind Farm, which has 195 wind turbines generating approximately $10 million for the local community. The resolution emphasizes Lowville's enduring quality of life, its potential for future growth, and its importance to the State of New York, ultimately pausing to recognize and honor the town's 225-year history and ongoing contributions to the region.
