Delgado’s To Host 1st
In-County ‘Town Hall’
In Cooperstown Monday
COOPERSTOWN – U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado, D-19th, will host his first in-county “Town Hall” meeting 12:30-1:30 Monday, Feb. 18 – President’s Day – in the ballroom at Village Hall, 22 Main St.
This is Delgado’s first event in Otsego County since a thank-you reception he hosted in Oneonta after the Nov. 6 election.
Last week, there was a “soft opening” of Delgado’s Otsego County office in Otsego Now’s headquarters on the fifth floor of 189 Main St., Oneonta. An official opening is planned when the congressman can be there.
His predecessor, Republican John Faso, did not have an office in the county, although Faso’s predecessor, Republican Chris Gibson, had a county office in Cooperstown, staffed by former village mayor Carol B. Waller.
The freshman congressman has been holding Town Halls around the 19th District, primarily in the Hudson Valley, for the past few weeks, beginning with one in Poestenkill on Jan. 25.
Mayor Ellen Tillapaugh said the Village Offices will be closed Monday for President’s Day, but the building will be open to accommodate the new congressman.
Tillapaugh said that she believed more details about the event would be forthcoming.
