Bill > J00919

This resolution commemorates the 44th annual Niska-Day celebration in the Town of Niskayuna, New York, scheduled for May 17, 2025. The resolution provides historical context about the town, noting its origins in 1809 when Schenectady County was formed, and highlighting its current status as a suburban town with 23,278 residents as of the 2020 census. Niska-Day, originally established in 1980 by the Niskayuna Community Action Program (N-CAP), is described as a community-building event that begins with a parade in Old Niskayuna and continues with a full day of family entertainment, including rides, games, food, and concluding with a grand fireworks display. The resolution recognizes the event's significance in promoting local business and creating a family-friendly environment, and specifically acknowledges the efforts of Chairpersons Jay and Rachel Rourke and the Niska-Day Committee in organizing the celebration. The legislative body resolves to commemorate the event and will transmit copies of the resolution to the 2025 Niska-Day Committee members.
