Many of those visitors came from out of the area and also visited gas stations, shops and restaurants as part of their visit, benefiting not only Blenheim but also Schoharie and Middleburgh. They also generated county sales tax revenue. The new Blenheim Bridge, to be built without local monies, will leverage that experience and expand the bridge into a true economic development engine for the southern part of the county. The supervisors who affirmed their support for the project should be lauded for their foresight and vision, as should the tireless private citizen volunteers who have dedicated years of effort to bringing the bridge back as symbol of recovery and an expression of confidence in the future.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840827107510077184noreply@blogger.com
