A core team of three Woodstock residents and two members of the New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH) have been working collaboratively as part of the NYS Drinking Water Source Protection Program (DWSP2) on a plan for how Woodstock can best protect our water supply. Woodstock's plan has just been approved by NYS. We are now moving into the implementation phase. Additional DWSP2 information, including a copy of Woodstock's approved plan, can be found on the Environment page of this website.
The Small Business Administration (SBA) has approved a disaster declaration from the July rain/flood event. Ulster County was included in the declaration because it is a contiguous county to Columbia and they have met the threshold.

For Onteora school taxes, you can:
>> Mail to the address it specifies on the bill
>> Pay by check at the Woodstock Bank of Greene County (81 Mill Hill Rd)
>> Look up your bill and pay online: taxes.onteoraschools.org

The program has been accepting testing applications for Dutchess and Putnam Counties and is now accepting testing applications for Ulster County. Applications are first-come, first-served while funding is available.
