🤝 Working Together for a Safer Community

This week, representatives from the Amsterdam Housing Authority were joined by members of the Amsterdam Police Department, along with our New York State Assemblyman, to discuss public safety improvements for the residents of Stratton Apartments.
These conversations are invaluable. By listening to the concerns, ideas, and experiences of our residents, we can strengthen partnerships between residents, law enforcement, local government, and housing officials. Together, we are committed to creating a safer, more connected, and more supportive community for our elderly residents.
We appreciate everyone who took the time to participate and contribute to this important discussion. Through collaboration and open communication, we can continue making meaningful improvements that enhance the quality of life for those who call Stratton Apartments home.

This week, I joined the Amsterdam Police Department for a meeting at Stratton Apartments to discuss public safety improvements and needs of the community.

These conversations are an important way to hear directly from residents, strengthen neighborhood partnerships, and work together on solutions that help keep our communities safe and connected.
