Rhinecliff Hamlet Advisory Council Important Meeting December 11th
Start: 6:30 pm

 DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE RHINECLIFF ADVISORY COUNCIL MEETING SCHEDULED FOR THIS EVENING HAS BEEN CANCELED. 

The following is a message from the Rhinecliff Advisory Council regarding the next meeting on Thursday December 11th.

"The council is inviting as many hamlet residents as possible to our first traffic/safety meeting.  The meeting will be held at the Morton Library Community Library at 6:30 pm.  We are encouraging those families with children who usually can't make these meetings to bring their children along.  We will make sure there is a movie or some special activities to keep them busy.  We are hoping to bring the community together on improving our streets for our safety and enjoyment.  We will be handing out a questionnaire at our meeting asking you to point out the particular traffic/safety issues that most concern you whether it be an issues on your block or general issues for the hamlet.  Please tell your neighbors about this.

We are also working on putting up our own website!  We are trying to reach as many neighbors as possible and are trying to collect e-mail addresses.  At the moment we have around 25.  These addresses were culled from our attendance sheets at our meetings.  Hopefully we can improve that."

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS MEETING WILL BE HELD AT THE MORTON LIBRARY

IMPORTANT MEETING

Where Do We Go From Here?
 
On December 15, the Rhinebeck Town Board voted 3-2 to keep the proposed Rhinecliff Hamlet Extension in the Town Comprehensive Plan – despite years of strong and consistent opposition to the proposal in its various forms from the Rhinecliff Hamlet Advisory Council and residents of Rhinecliff.  In addition, the Board voted 5-0 to amend the Comp Plan to allow up to 200 units of senior housing at the former Holy Cross site.
This special meeting has been called to hear from the public about the Board’s actions, and to discuss possible strategies for the Hamlet moving forward.  Please plan to attend if at all possible.
