It was a packed house at Exhibition Park as people came out to hear about solutions to flooding in Glen Falls. The city wanted to know whether people wanted a water diversion system or if they were open to the idea of relocation. Dave Nicholson has lived in Glen Falls for five years and says if it's going to take years to build a diversion system, he'd consider relocation.
Mayor Ivan Court says at this point relocation is just an idea but adds it would likely be a quicker solution than building a multi million dollar diversion system. Laurie MacDonald of Simpson Drive says he has lived in Glen Falls for 20 years and doesn't want to move.
