HON. ELISE M. STEFANIK

in the house of representatives
Monday, December 20, 2021
Ms. STEFANIK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Kirklin ``Kirk'' Woodcock for over 40 years of unwavering public service and congratulate him on his retirement. After serving as a Wilton Town Council Member, Mr. Woodcock devoted 34 additional years to the town as the Highway Superintendent.
Mr. Kirk Woodcock is a native to the town of Wilton and was first elected to office in 1979 as a town council member. Eight years later, he ran for Highway Superintendent and has been reelected 16 times, a testament to his outstanding work for the community and the immense trust and respect the people of Wilton have for him.
Throughout his 34 years serving as the Highway Superintendent, Mr. Woodcock oversaw transformative projects that facilitated Wilton's immense growth. Mr. Woodcock and his team successfully maintained, built, constructed, and plowed Wilton's 220 lane miles of road. Additionally, he has assisted many other departments in Wilton and has played a pivotal role in helping with the maintenance and construction of Gavin Park, Camp Saratoga, Grant Cottage, and the new Maple Avenue Firehouse building. Throughout his time as Highway Superintendent, Mr. Woodcock always prioritized the satisfaction of Wilton residents.
In addition to going above and beyond as Highway Superintendent, Kirk has volunteered and organized fundraisers for Double H Ranch, which gives children facing life-threatening illnesses the ability to enjoy various outdoor activities in the Adirondacks, including the ski slopes that Kirk helped build.
We are very grateful to Mr. Woodcock for loyally serving Wilton and its residents for the past 40 years. On behalf of New York's 21st district, I would like to thank Kirk for his contributions to the town of Wilton and congratulate him on reaching this important milestone. I wish him all the best in this next chapter of his life.
