Town Board - Poughkeepsie Town, NY

Worked with the Arlington Business Improvement District and Dutchess County to seek grants to revitalize Main Street.

Economy

Worked to enhance green spaces, protect historic properties, and create new recreational opportunities.

Public Services

Vassar Development: Vassar has a proposal to take down buildings located on the corner of Collegeview Avenue and Raymond Avenue and adding high rise apartments with retail. This has raised concerns about changing the landscape of Arlington and losing the street scape and the sense of place. We discussed historic designation of the buildings. We need to require that they record and document the buildings that will be taken down and their history. We would like to get a list of all the buildings that are slated to be torn down. Ann Shershin will ask the developer to meet with us as our next meeting and will ask to be given the plans before that time.
