I think residents’ input is very important and we listen to it.” The town has consulted with its engineering firm, MJ Engineering and Land Surveying and developed a plan that will be formalized over the summer. It will be presented to the public for their final input, and then the ground work will be laid for looking into federal and state governments grants and help with funding to get the project done. The Town of Milton has worked with MJ Engineering and Land Surveying for a number of years and have enjoyed the partnership. Zlotnick says, “They know the town and we find them to be very professional and responsive to our needs and what we are trying to accomplish. They’ve been with us for several years now, so they know what we are trying to get to, where we want to be, and they help us get down that road.” Until recently the town was very rural and many of the homes are still on well and septic systems, although some are on private water systems. Zlotnick notes, “A municipal water and wastewater system is something the town will be looking at in the near future. For the longest time we were a rural community and there just wasn’t the feasibility or the reason to develop that system.” In the near future, Zlotnick would also like to see the town’s Parks and Recreation Department expand to have a full time coordinator and for the highway department to finally see their long awaited new garage. When it comes to community spirit, volunteerism is alive and well in Milton, with a hearty and successful volunteer fire crew and when they do need volunteers for anything and everything, people are quick to take up the call. Friendly, accessible, home-town atmosphere with all the social and entrepreneurial opportunities at your doorstep, and the urban extras a quick jaunt away… that’s the Town of Milton. Something wonderful for everyone. PHONE 518.371.0799 WEB mjels.com LOCATION Clifton Park, NY Enhancing the quality of life in our community for over 42 years Quality of Life TOWN OF MI LTON, NEW YORK
