Welcome and Introductions Chairman McHenry introduced Marist College President and Conservancy Secretary Dr. Dennis Murray who welcomed everyone to Marist College and commented upon Long Dock Park and the recent addition to campus of the $35 million Hancock Center. Acting Conservancy Chairwoman Sara Griffen introduced retiring Dutchess County Executive Bill Steinhaus who welcomed everyone to Dutchess County, thanked everyone for inviting him and recognized Conservancy Secretary and Marist College President Dr. Dennis Murray for his efforts on behalf of Marist College and the Hudson River. Mr. Steinhaus noted that 29 of 30 Dutchess County communities have joined the Greenway Compact and half of those communities have been in the Compact long enough to have revised their original compacts. Dutchess County and its communities have protected 2,400 acres of land with another 800 in the process of being protected. Communities have committed $12 million to the development and implementation of the Compact, with the Greenway committing $1.7 million of that total. Page 2 of 15 Mr. Steinhaus noted that as well as being the home to the Beacon Center for Rivers and Estuaries, it is also the home of a robust regional trail system, including the Harlem Valley Rail Trail and the Dutchess Rail Trail. The latter will begin construction on three major bridges that will allow the trails connection of Poughkeepsie to Hopewell Junction. The County is also planning to release four new Greenway Guides this year. Mr. Steinhaus concluded by thanking the Greenway for our interest in the many tomorrows of the next generation. Presentation: Greenway Compact Acting Executive Director Mark Castiglione introduced David Church, AICP and Director of Orange County Planning who reviewed Orange County’s Compact Planning process. Mr. Church noted that Orange County had borrowed heavily from the model set up by Dutchess County and that they are working in collaboration with Dutchess and Ulster counties in an alliance to be known as the “Mid‐Hudson Regional Planning Partnership.” He noted that Orange County has more highway access than the state of Rhode Island. He reviewed the Orange County Design Manual which was published in July 2010. Mr. Castiglione introduced Ulster County Deputy Director of Planning Jennifer Schwartz Berky who updated everyone on the County’s progress on their Compact Plan. She noted that Ulster County was larger than the state of Rhode Island and 1/3rd of the County is within the boundaries of the Catskill Forest Preserve. She noted that Ulster County is working to produce Greenway Guides similar to those produced by Dutchess County. The first guide, one on a topic Dutchess County has not yet tackled, will be on Traditional Neighborhoods. She presented a planning transect that combined settlement densities with coordinated activities such as governance, economic development, transportation and compacts. Mr. Castiglione led the discussion into the area of the role of County Planning. Mr. Church noted that intermunicipal cooperation and consolidations may be the only way to achieve the necessary efficiencies required to make this sort of planning successful in these tough economic times. Dutchess County Planning Commissioner Kealy Salomon echoed Mr. Church’s thoughts. Agenda Review Acting Chairwoman Griffen called for changes/additions to the agenda. There were none. Minutes of January 20, 2011 Combined Meeting of the Hudson River Valley Greenway Communities Council, Greenway Conservancy for the Hudson River Valley, Inc. and Greenway Heritage Conservancy HRV, Inc. On a motion from Bob Elliott (Ned Ames second) the January 20 meeting minutes were unanimously approved. Page 3 of 15 Minutes of January 20, 2011 Meeting of the Hudson River Valley Greenway Grants Committee On a motion from Bob Elliott (Ned Ames second) the January 20 meeting minutes were unanimously approved. Executive Director Report Mr. Castiglione noted that proposed National Heritage Area budget cuts are being proposed for mid‐year of this federal fiscal year (FFY) and a 50 percent cut is being proposed for FFY 2011. He noted that these cuts would require a fundamental change to the Greenway organization. He further noted that he was delaying the Strategic Planning Process until the Governor’s Spending and Government Efficiency (SAGE) Commission completes it’s important work. Mr. Castiglione’s written Executive Director's report is appended to, and a part of these minutes. Hudson River Valley Greenway Communities Council Call to Order Chairman McHenry called the Greenway Council meeting to order and welcomed new Board Member Christine Golden. Ms. Golden was appointed to serve as Rensselaer County’s representative on the Council. Council Appointments to the Conservancy Board Chairman McHenry announced the appointment of Cindy Lanzetta and Stefan Yarabek to the Conservancy Board of Directors. Without a motion the Council Board unanimously approved the appointments. Discussion of New Requirements for Greenway Council Grants Mr. Castiglione announced that the Grants committee had approved three new rating criteria for all Council grants in order to make the grants more objectively competitive. The criteria for the Compact and Community Planning Grants are: 1) How well the projects will help to advance the Greenway Criteria, 2) How well the projects, will help to advance the Greenway Compact, and 3) Innovation: Higher ranking projects will be innovative and applicable elsewhere. For the Water Trail grants the criteria are slightly different and are: 1) Project Goals: How well the does the project advance the goals of the Hudson River Greenway Water Trail Program, 2) Critical Need: How great is the need for the project in order to complete the overall system, and 3) Innovation: Higher ranking projects will be innovative and applicable at other sites. Community Grants Mr. Castiglione announced that the City of Newburgh, Orange County is seeking funding in the amount of $5,000 is seeking grant funding for a Agricultural Community Page 4 of 15 Land Use and Natural Resource Plan and is seeking to re‐scope an additional grant for $5,000 to apply those funds to the same project. Mr. Castiglione announced that the Town of Sand Lake, Rensselaer County is seeking funding in the amount of $4,850 for the creation of architectural drawings in order to rehabilitate and adapt an historic 1835 structure into a community center called the Sand Lake Center for the Arts. On a motion from Bob Elliott (Sally Mazzarella second) the Board unanimously approved the Community Grants.

  • A Short History of Poughkeepsie's Upper
    A Short History of Poughkeepsie’s Upper Landing Written by Michael Diaz Chapter 1: Native Americans, the Dutch, and the English When Henry Hudson and his crew first sailed past what is now the City of Poughkeepsie in 1609, they sailed into a region that had been inhabited for centuries by a mixture of Algonquin-speaking peoples from the Mahican, Lenape, and Munsee cultures. The people living closest to the waterfall called “Pooghkepesingh” were Wappinger, part of the Lenape nation. The Wappinger likely had ample reason to settle near the Pooghkepesingh falls – the river and the small stream that ran to it from the falls provided good places to fish, and the surrounding hills offered both protection and ample opportunities to hunt. As the Dutch colony of New Netherland took shape along the banks of the Hudson River, the Dutch largely bypassed the river’s east bank. The Dutch preferred settling on the river’s mouth (now New York City), its northern navigable terminus (today’s Albany), and landings on the western bank of the Hudson (such as the modern city of Kingston). As such, Europeans did not show up in force near the Pooghkepesingh falls until the late 17th century. By that time, the Dutch had lost control of their colony to the English. It was a mix of these two groups that started building what is now the city of Poughkeepsie. On May 5, 1683, a Wappinger named Massany signed a deed giving control of the land around the Pooghkepesingh falls to two Dutch settlers, Pieter Lansingh and Jan Smeedes, who planned to build a mill on the small creek running from the falls.
