## **Red Hook Together**
The group meeting is organized by Bard Center for Civic Engagement & meets every first Thursday of the month. On Thurs, March 5th the group of Red Hook Together met in-person at The Grove, A newly renovated restaurant & bar at Red Hook Golf Club.
The conversation focused on hearing about attendees upcoming events and programs as well as discussing funding opportunities, such as celebrating the Community Center’s recent NY BRICKS grant and Dutchess County MIG grant. Kris Munn from the County Legislator, District 20 talked about the County Budget and the upcoming discussions.

## **Village of Red Hook Communications:**
This month the Mayor and I made progress on a few ongoing projects:
- The Communication Survey online has been posted to the home page under “Government News”. Questions range from what methods of communications work well, which could be improved, which improvements should be budget priorities.
- The Updated Waste Water Treatment Plant Operations Page was relaunched on Wed March, 4th. The aim was to streamline information and add contextualizing information to the reports and updates listed on the page. We also improved the layout, implementing a “jump link” index at the top of the page so users are able to navigate directly to each heading.
- I also posted a sign-up tutorial to the NY Alert system, which was first created by Sewer Clerk Jen Cavenaugh, and shared by Mayor Karen Smythe via email. You can locate the page under the Stay Informed heading on the website.
## **Village and Zoning Review:**
On February 9th, the Village Board voted to send the North Broadway Corridor Land Use & Zoning Study Draft to Dutchess County Department of Planning, Village of Red Hook Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals, to be reviewed for comments within 30 days. The Public Comment period was also extended to March 9th.
## **Links to Video Recordings:**
Draft Study Information Sessions: Mar 13,2025 , Oct 13, 2025. Public Hearings : Dec 8, 2025 , Jan 12, 2026 , February 9th The Proposed Study can be accessed here: redhookvillage.gov/360
## **Planning/Zoning & Building Department:**
This past month, with the permission of the Mayor, I have been working with the Planning Clerk, Lara Hart to prepare a guide for businesses that are opening a Village location. It was a concept that the Mayor and I discussed years ago with business owner Lauren Cunningham-Housman, and was seconded recently by Chamber of Commerce director Colin Stark. The guide will attempt to explain common requirements and processes (fire inspections, ‘Change of Use’ etc).
