Mr. Arendt will be speaking on Friday August 1 at 7:30 pm at Morton Library in Rhinecliff and again at 10 am on Saturday August 2 at the Town Hall in Rhinebeck.
Mr. Arendt's discussion will focus on the Rhinebeck Historic District and Hamlet of Rhinecliff while discussing strategies that can help the Town of Rhinebeck to realistically achieve its goals of maintaining open space while protecting important natural resources.
Mr. Arendt originated the "four step" conservation subdivision approach that is featured in the Town's Draft Comprehensive Plan and Draft Zoning. He has worked with hundreds of municipalities across the country to plan for growth without sprawl.
This is a must-attend event for anyone interested in the future of Rhinebeck.
