Town of Red Hook Comprehensive Plan:

The Town committee meets monthly from 7:30pm to 9pm on the fourth Tuesday at Town Hall. Since my last report the committee met on March 24th & April 7th. On the 24th the committee discussed organizational layout of the plan and formatting of Workshop 2. On the 7th, conversation focused around outreach & how the second Workshop stations will work.

Village of Red Hook Communications:

  • The Communication Survey online has been posted to the home page under “Government News”. The surveys ask which communication methods work well as well as what could be improved. I posted a number of flyers around the Village hoping we will get more responses. To date we have gotten 29 responses - which while helpful, is not enough data to draw definitive conclusions. The Survey is available at: redhookvillage.gov/survey.

  • Fellow trustees please share this survey with any networks you know of so that we can get a better understanding of what improvements would be most effective. Each method of communication has tax dollar implications so we want to make sure that any improvements the Village undertakes are targeted.

Village and Zoning Review:

On March 9th, the Village Board adopted the North Broadway Corridor Land Use & Zoning Study. No other updates to date.
