Meghan Murray Moves Her Edward Jones Financial Offices To Warren St., Glens Falls

Posted onJuly 14, 2022

By Jill Nagy

Meghan Murray, a financial advisor with Edward Jones Financial in Glens Falls, recently moved her office to 5 Warren St. in the heart of downtown Glens Falls.

. “We’re glad to be part of thriving Warren Street and watching Glens Falls grow and thrive,” she said.

Although they have been there for a little over two months, the new home is still a work in process. The chandeliers arrived in late April and Murray was still waiting for signage—caught up somewhere in the supply chain—to arrive before planning an official grand opening and open house.

Like most Edward Jones offices, Murray’s is small. The staff is just her and Patty Bigelow, the branch office administrator. In the future, she said she may add a marketing specialist but there are no growth plans aside from that

The office offers full financial planning services, she said, including retirement planning, planning for succession, investment planning, business retirement plans, and the like.

j. Gallup Farms Sells Its Pies, Pickles, Other Produce From New Warrensburg Storefront

Posted onJuly 14, 2022
Julie Gallup Harrington, owner of j.Gallup Farms, sits in her new shop at 3916 Main St. in Warrensburg. The more visible location has improved business, she says.

By Christine Graf

After 10 years of selling baked goods, produce and other items from the front porch of an old farmhouse at 3952 Main St. in Warrensburg, j.Gallup Farms has relocated to a 600-squre-foot storefront at 3916 Main St. 

Owner Julie Gallup Harrington runs the business with her daughter-in-law, Mandy Cook.

Before becoming a business owner, Harrington worked as a waitress and once owned her own bar and small resort. It was because of her desire to put her cooking and baking talents to work that she decided to establish j. Gallup Farms.

The decision to relocate the store came after the COVID-19 pandemic that made it impossible for her to hire the five employees the business relies on during the busy summer months. As a result, she and Cook couldn’t service the more than 15 mom-and-pop stores that purchased their products wholesale.

“We weren’t able to get people to work, deliver, or help us prepare. We couldn’t produce, so we ended up losing most all of our wholesale business,” she said. “We made the decision to downsize how much product we put out the door. That way the two of us could run the business ourselves.”

Department Of Labor Has Plan To Improve Unemployment Insurance Services In NYS

Posted onJuly 14, 2022

The state Department of Labor is halfway through its four-year strategic modernization plan, an ongoing effort that will reduce call volume, enhance customer experience, and swiftly connect New Yorkers to unemployment insurance benefits. 

NYSDOL is currently collaborating with the state Office of Information Technology Services to develop and implement technological solutions that will improve the UI benefit application process, check on the status of claims, and address claim issues with unprecedented efficiency with the goal of handling 100 percent of customer inquiries. 

The plan is part of an ongoing DOL effort to enhance the overall customer experience and reduce fraud.

“The struggles that New York’s workforce experienced during the pandemic showed us how crucial it is to be able to connect job searchers with employers,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said. “As we rebuild from the economic effects of the pandemic, we must continue to improve the systems that allow us to get money back into New Yorkers’ hands. I commend the Department of Labor for their swift work throughout the pandemic to help New Yorkers facing hardship, and I look forward to continuing to work with them as we address gaps in our infrastructure.”

Department of Labor Commissioner Roberta Reardon said the department of Labor “was already working to improve the unemployment system, but the pandemic put that on the fast track in order to swiftly deliver $105 billion in assistance to nearly 5 million New Yorkers. Since then, the department has embraced innovative solutions and we continue to evolve to better serve New Yorkers. Our ability to adapt is why so many states continue to look to us for leadership throughout this global health crisis.”

Homes in New York’s Southern Adirondack region sold quickly in May, spending just over a month on the market, with sellers receiving more than asking price on average, according to the National Association of Realtors.

Nationally, existing home sales were down 2.4 percent from last month. Home prices may begin to decline if this trend continues

“Our market’s drop in closed sales has given the housing supply a much-needed boost compared to previous months,” said Densay Sengsoulavong, CEO of the Southern Adirondack Realtors. “While the number of homes sold may be down, our market remains highly competitive with rising home prices and quick sales. Serious buyers would benefit from working with a professional Realtor to navigate our market.”
