Senate Resolution No. 64

BY: Senator WALCZYK

 COMMEMORATING the 225th Anniversary of the Town of
 Lowville, New York

 WHEREAS, It is the intent of this Legislative Body to honor and
commemorate the distinguished histories of the communities which
comprise the noble body of this great Empire State; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
commemorate the 225th Anniversary of the Town of Lowville, New York; and

 WHEREAS, Settled in 1798 by a company from Westfield, Massachusetts,
the Town of Lowville was formed in 1800 from the Town of Mexico in
Oswego County; and

 WHEREAS, In 1803, part of Lowville was used to form the Town of
Harrisburg; and

 WHEREAS, The Town of Lowville was named after Nicholas Low, an early
landowner and Dutch immigrant who immigrated from the rural community
outside of Amsterdam; and

 WHEREAS, Agriculture and dairy farming flourished in the Lowville
area because of the rich soil on the Black River Flats; with the opening
of the Black River Canal in 1851, the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg
Railroad in 1867, and the Lowville and Beaver Railroad in 1906,
industries flourished, including QubicaAMF, the largest manufacturer of
bowling pins in the world, and Kraft, the largest cream cheese plant in
the country; and

 WHEREAS, Furthermore, dedicated in 2006, the Maple Ridge Wind Farm
is one of the largest wind farms in the United States; the site has 195
wind turbines which provide about $10 million to the local community;
and

 WHEREAS, Of historic origin, and remaining fruitful over the ebb and
flow of decades of growth and change, the Town of Lowville continues to
provide the quintessential quality of life for its residents; and

 WHEREAS, Today, the residents of the Town of Lowville have a bright
outlook for the future of their community, which remains a beautiful
place in which to live and raise a family; and

 WHEREAS, In recognition of the Town of Lowville rich history and
enduring contribution to the State of New York, this Legislative Body is
proud to pay tribute to this spirited town upon the occasion of its
225th Anniversary; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate the 225th Anniversary of the Town of Lowville, recognizing
the significance of the role it continues to play in the life of the
community of the State of New York; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to the Town of Lowville, New York.
