A: ENGINEERING, CHILDCARE, and TRAILS VISION FOR DOWNTOWN We will re-energize and reinvigorate our position as one of the State’s most dynamic villages by combining strategic investment in New Paltz’s downtown core, SUNY New Paltz’s innovative programming, and the new Empire State Trail intersecting our village. The Village of New Paltz is poised to become the Mid-Hudson REDC’s first-ever village to receive the $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative award. We have identified a simple yet transformative plan anchored by a public-private partnership involving software engineering firm SAMsix on Plattekill Avenue, centrally located in the Village of New Paltz. Using properties owned by the Village and SAMsix, we see an opportunity to develop a world-class TOURISM & ENGINEERING HUB to benefit local ​ residents, visitors, and the regional economy by expanding 1) the number of high-paying engineering jobs in New Paltz; 2) the New Paltz Child Care center; 3) downtown parking; and 4) green infrastructure features to protect the Wallkill River.

  • Chapter 1: Introduction
    Walk Bike Dutchess Chapter 1: Introduction A lot has changed since the Poughkeepsie-Dutchess County Transportation Council (PDCTC) published its first Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan in 1996. The Dutchess Rail Trail, which was discussed as a possibility in the 1996 Plan (as the Maybrook Corridor), was completed in 2013, and now includes more than 13 miles of paved shared-use trail for walking and bicycling. The Walkway Over the Hudson, which was also mentioned in the 1996 Plan (as the Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge), was completed in 2009 and connects the Dutchess Rail Trail to the Hudson Valley Rail Trail in Ulster County. And the Harlem Valley Rail Trail, shown as proposed in the 1996 Plan, now includes over ten miles in the eastern part of Dutchess County, with additional sections planned. The Dutchess Rail Trail provides recreation and transportation These trails have proven to be extremely popular, providing options. residents of all backgrounds with opportunities to walk and bicycle in a pleasant, traffic-free environment. At the same time, walking and bicycling for transportation have gained prominence as healthy, economical, and carbon-free alternatives to driving, and creating walkable, bikeable places is a top economic development strategy for communities looking to become more vibrant and attractive. Pedestrian and bicycle planning is changing rapidly, with new designs and facility types to serve the needs of people of various abilities and comfort levels, particularly the ‘interested but concerned’ who want to bicycle for transportation but don’t feel comfortable sharing a travel lane with motor vehicles. In Dutchess County, we now have a great opportunity to build on the popularity of the rail trails and the increasing desire for alternatives to driving by developing networks of ‘Complete The Walkway Over the Hudson had 700,000 visitors in 2013.

  • NRI 6 Recreational Resources
    Chapter 6. Recreational Resources Addison Tate, Jennifer Rubbo Spratt Park, Photo credit: Lauren White Publicly-accessible recreational resources provide the opportunity for people to engage with the outdoors and have positive place-based experiences. Access to natural space is especially critical in the age of nature deficit disorder, where lack of time spent in nature has been shown to lead to a range of behavioral problems in children (Louv, 2008). Recre- ational areas also are essential to a healthy lifestyle by providing access to open spaces for outdoor sport and recreation. Furthermore, areas such as parks and sports facilities also act as dynamic community spaces, where education and community-building occur, and neighbor- hood identities are cultivated. A variety of important recreational resources exist within and nearby the City of Pough- keepsie. Located in the Mid-Hudson region, many large recreational areas, including the Catskills, Shawangunks, Taconic Mountains, and Hudson Highlands, are within an hour’s drive from the City, through farmland, forested hills, and a broad urban-rural gradient. Features such as the Hudson River, Dutchess County Rail Trail, Vassar Farm and Ecological Preserve, and Fall Kill Creek connect Poughkeepsie to the surrounding areas. Within the City, Poughkeepsie’s many public parks provide green space, gardens, playgrounds, picnicking, and athletic fields and courts (Map 6.1, Table 6.1). The 24 public parks and green spaces in the City total nearly 500 acres, with about 250 acres located on the Vassar Farm and Ecological Preserve. The City of Poughkeepsie owns 18 of the recreational areas identified here and the recreation office, overseen by the City’s Department of Public Works (DPW), oversees maintenance of these A Natural Resources Inventory for the City of Poughkeepsie 103 parks.
