Thank you Bobcat of Monticello for the new machine! It was time for us to upgrade from our old skid steer and fortunately, the Town of Thompson has a new dealership to buy local.

Last fall, winter came early and the snow never left! We are out this spring getting the leaves we didn’t have time to get.

*SCAM ALERT* 🛑 Please be aware that Town emails are only legit when ending in thompsonny.gov such as [email protected] or [email protected].
***
DO NOT click on any links in an email coming from a suspicious email address. The scammers who sent out the invoices even put the (old) Thompson logo on the invoice, it looked convincing but again...it did not come from a legitimate email address.

Last year we covered almost 1/4 of our town roads with some type of surface treatment or new pavement. Here is an article about the process we have been using that makes Thompsons roads some of the best in the state.

The town of Thompson, New York, needed a solution for the heavily used entrance road into the only casino in Sullivan County.
