Kayla Johnson is one of the lucky ones. After losing her job at
9:30 Club at the start of the pandemic, she has received unemployment benefits week after week without fail. That luck ran out this week. Despite the fact that the unemployment portal displayed that her claim was processed on Tuesday, by Thursday she still hadn’t received her benefits. When she got through to the Department of Employment Services call center, an employee relayed that her benefits were delayed due to the Presidents Day holiday.
The Board first considered Colony Hill’s application at their January 28 meeting, starting with presentations from the applicants and HPO staff making the case in favor. That case was oriented around three of the District’s legal criteria for registration.
DC Criterion B: History - The bulk of the application makes the case that the neighborhood deserves designation because it represents the national and local trend of developers building more car-oriented, suburban communities in the 1930s.
DC Criterion D: Architecture and Urbanism - The application also describes the properties in the neighborhood as good examples of the popular Colonial Revivalism style that were accompanied by well-considered landscaping to create a picturesque suburban aesthetic.

GLOVERSVILLE Locals will soon have a chance to honor service members and help beautify downtown through the Hometown Heroes banner program pitched this week by Downtown Development Specialist James Hannahs and approved by the Common Council.
Hannahs outlined details of the proposed Hometown Heroes banner program to the Common Council on Tuesday. The program would see community members purchase banners to be displayed downtown featuring the photo, name, branch, rank, years of service and medals of local service members.
The banners would be hung year-round on the decorative lamp posts downtown on North and South Main Streets and East and West Fulton Streets. Hannahs noted that the 79 lamp posts downtown could bear two banners each, allowing for the display of up to 158 banners.
