Letter from the Village of Cooperstown

Dedication Appreciated

The Village of Cooperstown mourns the passing of former Sen. James Seward, who conscientiously served our community and region for over three decades. Jim was a devoted public servant who would cross the aisle to serve all the municipalities in his jurisdiction, regardless of political party. He frequently collaborated with former Assemblyman William Magee to provide important funding to the village, including over $2 million for the Doubleday Field renovations.

His actions on the state level ensured critical protections for Otsego Lake and its watershed. In consultation with the governor’s office, the village lowered the U.S. flag to half-staff on all public property.

We are sincerely appreciative of his years of dedicated service and extend our sincere sympathy to his family.
