Town Planner Speaks at Annual Meeting
John Scavo Jr, the Town of Clifton Park Planning Director, spoke to a record turnout at the
CKMCCA Annual Meeting on April 22, 2009. Mr. Scavo discussed a number of ongoing projects,
including: the future of the Stony Creek Reservoir; the Bio-Blitz, where towns people go out in
to designated areas of Clifton Park with biologists and inventory the flora and fauna they discover;
the status of the clean-up from the December ice storm; the condominium project behind
Hannaford, which will be used as senior housing; the Library Trail project, which will connect
the Arongen & Shatekon Elementary Schools to the Clifton Park-Halfmoon Public Library;
the possibility of a hotel going in at Clifton Park Center, a new passive recreation park; the outcomes
of the studies which were done to analyze the traffic flow in the Rt. 146/Exit 9 corridor;
and the Safe Routes to Schools projects. Mr. Scavo addressed many questions and concerns
from residents and we truly grateful for his taking the time to speak with us.
CKMCCA Annual Scholarship Award Winner
Clifton Knolls resident Cassandra Whitford was named the 2009 winner of the CKMCCA Scholarship at the Civic Association’s
annual meeting in April. The $500 award is a competitive application judged by a panel of local business and community
leaders, and is awarded to a neighborhood high school senior whose family is a member of the Civic Association.
Cassandra is an accomplished scholar—she was Shen’s valedictorian this year—athlete, and also volunteers to many community organizations. She will
be attending the University at Buffalo in the fall to study engineering. The entire Clifton Knolls and Mill Creek community wishes
Cassandra—and all of our neighborhood’s other graduating seniors—good luck in their future endeavors.
