Belfiglio
PORT EWEN – Ulster County Legislator Carl Belfiglio announced on Wednesday that he will run for Esopus town supervisor in the fall instead of seeking a fifth term on the county level.
Belfiglio, a Republican, said when he first ran for county legislature, he made a commitment for a self-imposed term limit.
While he said his participation on the county level led to many enhancements to the quality of life, he wants to improve the town’s economic position as a top Hudson River town destination.
“The Town of Esopus, I believe one of the top Hudson River destinations and we could make our home in Esopus the destination in Ulster County,” he said. “We have the most riverfront property of any county going from New York City to Albany. We have three parks on the river and lots of Hudson River access and I believe in the next few years, the Town of Esopus is going to be one of the top destinations for people traveling.”
Belfiglio served for two years as an Esopus town councilman before running for the county legislature.
