Rick Karlin reports at Capitol Confidential state Sen. Cecilia Tkaczyk announced Wed., May 29, Senate passage of a bill to designate State Route 375, which runs through Woodstock in Ulster County, as Levon Helm Memorial Boulevard. The bill passed in the Assembly last month. It now goes to the Governor for his signature. The late Helm was a founding member of The Band and he resided in the Woodstock area until his death from cancer in April 2012. Tkaczyk said, “This is a fitting tribute to a musician from Arkansas who became a symbol of Woodstock, and who did so much for Upstate NY."
