NARROWSBURG – The Town of Delaware, NY produced a new “Guide to Permits” brochure with funding from the Upper Delaware Council’s (UDC) Fiscal Year 2020 Technical Assistance Grants (TAG) program.

The tri-fold, color brochure provides answers to frequently asked questions regarding building permits, including why and when they are required, how to obtain them, which documents are necessary to submit with an application, and what are the fees. It also offers relevant informational resources and references.

Town of Delaware Building Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer James McElroy and Town Clerk Tess McBeath supplied the content to Dorene Warner of W Design of Barryville, NY for graphic design and layout purposes. Warner in turn arranged for Spencer Printing of Honesdale, PA to produce 1,000 copies.

The UDC approved payment of $1,104.67 on August 25 based on actual costs for the Oct. 3, 2019 originally awarded amount of $1,127. The project’s due date was August 28, 2020.

Since its inception in 1988, the UDC has awarded a cumulative total of $891,952 to fund 257 projects through the TAG program. The planning-oriented grants are available competitively to the UDC’s 13 member towns and townships, and five encompassing county governments in NY and PA.
