One More Meeting

There is a meeting that was omitted from the weekly list published last night: the Columbia County Board of Supervisors Public Works Committee meeting, which takes place on Wednesday, March 18, at 5:00 p.m., at 401 State Street. At this meeting, the updated load rating report, prepared by the engineering firm Ryan Biggs Clark Davis, with various cost estimates for temporarily repairing the Stuyvesant Falls Bridge so that it can re-open, will be presented.

Representatives of Historic Stuyvesant will be at the meeting. In advance of the meeting, they are encouraging people to send emails to the members of the Public Works Committee, urging them to repair and reopen the bridge. Information for doing that can be found here. (Interestingly, there are no Hudson supervisors on this committee.)

Historic Stuyvesant is advocating for the County to commit to a long-term bridge rehabilitation project. To learn about the preservation efforts, click here.
