Community Events
Roscoe’s
community spirit is thriving and the town continues to grow more and
more beautiful each year. We are active participants in the Sullivan
Renaissance Program, and are pleased to report that we have received
numerous recognitions for our revitalizations efforts. We have also
been consistently acknowledged for our showing of flowers in the
various gardens and parks that are spread throughout the hamlet. Two
lovely murals have been added to the sides of key buildings,
depicting outdoors scenes from our local watercolor artist, Jack
Yelle. Large wooden carved trout sculptures have been added to two
strategic locations – the town’s Western gateway and a pocket park
on Stewart Avenue. A new log sided Information Booth holds a place
of honor on Stewart Avenue. And finally, our “Down to the River”
project in 2009 resulted in the creation of Riverside Park, a true
showpiece of nature along the famous Willowemoc Creek.
The Golden Feather Award that Roscoe received in late 2008 will
enable us to redesign the sidewalk and streetscape on Stewart
Avenue. In 2009, we were honored to receive the New York Main Street
Grant, which will provide selected property owners with funds to
improve their properties. We continue to move forward on other
opportunities to improve our community every day!!
Roscoe Wins Again
On
August 9th, Roscoe once again won the Golden Feather award, a $50,000 grant
made possible by NYS Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther. This award recognizes
Roscoe as having exhibited the highest level of excellence in Sullivan
County in all aspects of its three-year revitalization and beautification
projects. Roscoe also received the Stewardship Award for Historic
Preservation from the Sullivan Renaissance Organization. We are proud of all
of the hard work and dedication of our community in earning these honors,
and we look forward to using these awards to further improve our community.

A WONDERFUL
PLACE JUST CONTINUES TO GET BETTER
On July 23, 2010 the Roscoe Chamber of Commerce
received approval from the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation
to build a handicapped access fishing ramp on the Willowemoc River at
Riverside Park. Our next steps are the development of detailed plans for
the ramp and the identification of funding sources to help us build it.
The beauty of Riverside Park and the Willowemoc will be further enhanced
by making it more accessible to our handicapped visitors.
