Cheyne has also taken over the town Facebook page, communicating vital information daily. “When the weather is not good, or it’s in question, I’m always updating our residents,” he recounts. “It could be anything. It could be a tree down. It could be a water main break. It just keeps them aware of what’s going on so they’re not guessing. It really put us on the map.” Marcy’s parks and recreation have been undergoing revitalization as well. “Over the last four years, between grants and everything else, we’ve really improved on all the walking trails, the hiking trails, our fields, added pickleball, and made it more handicap accessible,” Cheyne portrays.“We’ve really, really focused on everything with our town and its residents, and it’s really made a shine.” ADDRESSING HOUSING NEEDS Residential development is ongoing, with two new housing projects in planning, one which will introduce 60 units, and another larger development, most of which are single family homes with a few townhouse complexes. “The two of them are a good basis for us,” acknowledges Scala. “I wish we had more land in which to build on, because with everything that Marcy has to offer, a house goes up for sale, they don’t even have an open house because they have 10 people bidding on it.” LEADERSHIP THROUGH COLLABORATION The value of responsible but flexible thinking is a common philosophy amongst Marcy’s leadership. Cheyne highlights, “I’m always open for criticism and open for opinions and I’m learning every day.” Annese offers,“You always have to look at the ideas from somebody else’s point of view. If you look at everything from your point of view, things get awfully stale and very opinionated.The only thing we’re sure of is change. If you don’t change with the times, you’re going to become a dinosaur. And we all know what happened to the dinosaurs.” ROMMEL FENCE LLC Rommel Fence, LLC specializes in high security commercial, industrial and institutional fence projects.
