Clarkstown Town Clerk David Carlucci is pleased to announce that Clarkstown has been awarded a Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund Grant (LGRMIF) in the sum of $ 35,207. According to Carlucci, "The Town Clerk's Office is responsible for maintaining and managing records for Clarkstown dating back to 1752. We have grown from a population of 2,000 to over 85,000. As such, the amount of paperwork accumulated has grown enormously and has necessitated using off-site facilities for storage. This grant will eliminate the need for off-site and expensive storage fees which cost the town $30,000 per year." The LGRMIF Grant will fund the construction and management of an on-site storage facility in the first floor Town Hall Annex to accommodate approximately 3000 cubic feet of various town records. This extensive project will further improve accessibility to public records, as having on-site storage will expedite the retrieval times. This project will also reduce the Town of Clarkstown’s carbon footprint, as on-site storage means the elimination of records being shipped back and forth upstate.
“I have been aggressively seeking state funds for projects here in Clarkstown" stated Carlucci. “Since taking office in 2006, I have acquired state grants for three consecutive years in a row, securing over $80,000 for Clarkstown. In a depressed economy, it is vital to obtain outside sources of funding that are available to us”.
