A Message from Mayor Tom Howley

From the Desk of Mayor Tom Howley – Weekly Village Update

Greetings Greenwood Lake neighbors,

This past Saturday’s Water Chestnut Harvest was a shining example of what makes our village so special — community spirit, resilience, and dedication to preserving our beautiful lake. Despite less-than-ideal weather, more than 50 volunteers rolled up their sleeves and helped pull 124 baskets of invasive water chestnut plants from the water — with each basket holding around 100 plants. It’s hard work, but thanks to all of you, our lake is healthier and more vibrant. The next phase in our lake management will be the application of herbicide, which we’ll begin once we receive the necessary permit from the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). Stay tuned for updates.

Looking ahead, summer is beginning to bloom here in Greenwood Lake, and with it comes a calendar full of community events and celebrations.

Our Summer Concert Series kicks off Saturday, June 28th with local favorites Voodoo Strangers taking the stage. Bring your lawn chairs, your neighbors, and your dancing shoes! It’s always a great way to gather with friends and neighbors and enjoy an evening of live music under the summer sky.

Town of Warwick Police Department once again will host the Junior Police Academy for students ages 10 to 15 in the Warwick, Greenwood Lake, and Florida school districts. Two sessions will be offered: July 14–25 and August 4–15, from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., held at Warwick Valley High School. Students interested must submit a short two-question essay and application by June 20. This is a great opportunity for our youth to learn discipline, teamwork, and community service. To register, visit www.wpdjpa.com.

This Saturday, June 14th, don’t miss the Street Fair on Windermere Avenue brought to you by the Chamber of Commerce from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Enjoy live music, food, unique vendors, and more. Some road closures will be in effect, so plan accordingly and come enjoy this lively celebration of local life.

While you’re out, swing by Brian Bennett Field for the Old Time Baseball Game starting at 1 p.m. It’s a nod to simpler times and a whole lot of fun for all ages.

Finally, I want to offer a heartfelt congratulations to all our recent college and nursery school graduates. Your hard work and achievements are just the beginning. To our middle and high school students, your moment is coming at the end of the month — finish strong!

As always, thank you for making Greenwood Lake a place of pride, purpose, and connection. Let’s keep working together to protect what we love and celebrate all that we share.

Warm regards,
Mayor Tom Howley
