CORNWALL – State Senator James Skoufis (D, Cornwall) has secured an $85,000 grant for the Town of Cornwall to purchase a new senior citizen dial-a-bus bus. 

The bus will transport up to a dozen seniors at a given time for daily trips throughout Cornwall and to shopping destinations in the Town of Wallkill, Newburgh, and New Windsor.

  “Ensuring our seniors can retain their independence as they age is a key quality of life issue,” said Skoufis. “Cornwall’s senior population has been steadily increasing in recent years, and local leaders must do all they can to support and respond to the needs of this vibrant constituency.”

 Town Supervisor Josh Wojehowski said the grant will cover the full cost of the new bus, which is sorely needed as the current vehicle has reached the end of its useful life.

  A new bus schedule will soon be posted on the town’s website. Pickups can also be arranged by calling the Cornwall Recreation Department at (845) 534-2070.
