To the editor:

The town of St. Armand has been displaying a real upsurge in energy. The past couple of years have seen improvements to St. Armand’s Veteran’s Memorial Park, the first Annual Bloomingdale Block Party, the development of three new businesses (Hex and Hop Taproom and Brewery, Black Dog Records and Dollar General), the Bloomingdale Neighborhood Facebook page and the Bloomingdale Food Pantry, among others. To keep this momentum going, we need to elect Stephanie Bolduc Mikesell, a young, vibrant woman with 12 years of business experience, who will promote St. Armand as a great location for new local businesses and help St. Armand be a location where next generation Adirondackers will want to live and do business.

Stephanie has lived in St. Armand since 2019, currently lives with her husband Ethan (owner of Hex and Hop Taproom and Brewery) and daughter in the Saranac Lake end of St. Armand and serves as the chair of the Saranac Lake Local Development Corporation. Stephanie is running as an independent, under the “Route 3 Party,” because Route 3 connects the two ends of the town of St. Armand. Please vote for Stephanie for councilperson of the town of St. Armand on Nov. 2.
