The town adds a message to its most recently fixed water tower

Plattsburgh's big water tower off exit 37 of I-87 has received a makeover. After sandblasting and repainting the tower, the town decided to add the words,"Welcome Bienvenue to Plattsburgh." “We all know that the people in the north country are very welcoming. But we also have a strong relationship with our Canadian neighbors. And we wanted to remind people to come to the region and welcome them,” Plattsburgh Town Supervisor Michael Cashman said, This is all part of the $24 million water and wastewater capital plan. Several of the water towers in Plattsburgh will be fixed up. Previously, the water tower on Hammond Lane didn’t have any branding on it. “It’s been a long time coming. We have been getting an incredible amount of feedback in a positive way in just a short amount of time,” Cashman said.
