Healthy Neighborhoods Program
How safe is your home? If a fire were to occur in your home would your family know what to do? When was the last time you checked the batteries in your smoke detector? Have you talked with your family about a fire escape plan for your home? Do you have a carbon monoxide detector? Does your home even need one?
Are these questions you are hearing for the first time today? If so, you may benefit from a visit from the Clinton County Healthy Neighborhoods Program.
The Healthy Neighborhoods Program (HNP) is a grant-funded program designed to help improve the personal health, safety, and environmental living conditions of residents within Clinton County. HNP is able to do this through health and safety surveys that are conducted with participants of the program. The survey covers 5 main topics: fire safety, lead, indoor air quality, injury prevention, and asthma. Based on the outcome of the survey, and program eligibility, HNP may be able to provide the participant with various safety products as well as health and safety education. HNP is FREE to all Clinton County residents regardless of age or income.

The Town of Black Brooks new phone app is now live!

We will utilize this app to communicate with our residents in the event of an emergency, boil water order, road closures, road maintenance, utility billing, events, or any other important information that we want to communicate with you about. We found our previous app, MyCITYPOCKET, to be extremely beneficial, and we are confident that our new app, Info Grove for Municipalities, will be just as beneficial and more resourceful!
Simply go to your smartphones App Store, search Info Grove Municipalities, download (free), and select Town of Black Brook, NY as your Municipality.
We are still adding information to our app but we encourage you to browse our new app and feel free to leave us feedback on the feedback icon! We want to know the good, the bad, and if there’s anything that we can add to improve the app.
If you have any problems downloading the app, please reach out to Jessie at 518-647-5411, ext 1 and she’d be happy to assist you!
