   "The money will be used to acquire property or easements and complete necessary surveying," said Margaret O. Casey, Deputy Mayor for the village.
   
   The Village of Hoosick Falls will create a historic walking and biking trail that extends for two miles along an abandoned rail corridor. The trail runs through the village, abuts the river in many places and provides abundant opportunities for scenic views, canoe access, picnicking, public information displays and parking. "The village board and the community have been very instrumental in this project and are excited about the economic development it will bring to the community," stated Casey.

   Hoosick Falls Deputy Mayor Margaret Casey also expressed concerns about the provision. "I certainly agree with the concept, but it needs to be carefully worded," said Casey. "I felt that (the ordinance) was not clearly written."
   
   She said that she wanted to ensure the measure did not prohibit parents from serving alcohol to their own children. "Underage drinking is a problem and we need to put a stop to it," Casey added.

   "This money is for a greenway along the Hoosic River," said Village Deputy Mayor Margaret Casey, "It's an old railroad bed that's been abandoned for many years , there aren't even rails there anymore."
   
   The land, said Casey, was still the property of the railroad company, and negotiations were under way to purchase two separate parcels with already-donated money. One parcel is south of the River Street bridge, and one is north of the downtown.
   
   The plan is to start with a trail in the village of about 2.5 miles, but eventually to expand to around 14 or 15 miles. Casey also expressed a desire to connect with other trails around the area.

   According to Casey, the money was actually federal money. As such, the grant is not yet completely set in stone, but Casey said it was very likely the state's share of that money would stand.
   ...
   Casey said that she expected the money would be used for surveys of the land, and possibly to purchase additional lands along the trail. The process, said Casey, may take quite a while.
   
   "It will take several years," Casey said.
