Saugerties Town Hall has a new name: the Gregory L. Helsmoortel Town Hall, honoring the former supervisor who spearheaded the purchase and renovation of the former Markertek factory on High Street. The April 18 vote to name the hall after Helsmoortel was unanimous - despite the presence of two Republicans on the board. Helsmoortel was not a member of any party but had received the backing of Democrats during the second half of his 12-year tenure. He was defeated last November by Kelly Myers, a Republican, who said that despite their differences she recognized how important Greg was to the town hall effort.
