Mike Kreindler Retires
Mike Kreindler recently stepped down from his position as Arrowsic Code Enforcement Officer. On December
7, 2020, he attended his last Planning Board meeting in his capacity as Town CEO. Mike has been CEO since
2002, an astonishing 20 years serving the Town in a demanding, and often thankless, role. On behalf of the resi-
dents of Arrowsic, and the Planning Board, I write to express our overwhelming thanks and gratitude to Mike
for his outstanding work as CEO. Today the word passion is misused and overused, but not with respect to the
passion with which Mike has approached his work on behalf of the Town. Mike’s devotion has ensured that the
character of the Town is as envisioned by its Ordinances, and in so doing has directly improved the quality of
life for all residents of Arrowsic.
—Matt Caras for the Planning Board

Broadband is coming! The holdup has been figuring out some complexities regarding insurance and profit-
sharing, according to Don Kornrumpf, a member of the Arrowsic Broadband Authority. The Authority
expects the town will be hooked up with a fiber-optic broadband service by year's end.
"But part of the problem is the timing," Kornrumpf said. "It's difficult to speed up the bureaucracy and get
things done. But it's coming."
