RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT GREENWAY LAND TRAIL GRANT SUBMISSION BY TOWN & VILLAGE OF RHINEBECK AND TOWN OF RED HOOK.
WHEREAS, the Rhinebeck/Red Hook Historic District Bike/Hike Trails (RBRHT) were conceived more than 20 years ago with funding from the Winnakee Land Trust and with cooperation from the towns of Red Hook and Rhinebeck and the Village of Rhinebeck; and,
WHEREAS, the RBHT is part of the Hudson River Valley Greenway trail system; and,
WHEREAS, the existing trail signage has decayed or disappeared, and importantly, the RBRHT now intersects with the newly constructed and increasingly popular Empire State Trail; and,
WHEREAS, the Hudson River Valley Greenway Conservancy is offering matching grants for the rehabilitation and improvement of existing Greenway trails, and is expressly looking to connect village centers to the Empire State Trail; and
WHEREAS, the Village of Rhinebeck, the Towns of Rhinebeck and Red Hook will be providing the matching funds for this project; and
WHEREAS, while the RBRHT do not go through the Village of Red Hook, our residents benefit from these trails;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Village of Red Hook Board of Trustees offers their support for this grant application by the Towns of Rhinebeck & Red Hook and the Village of Rhinebeck.
