Team Prepares Land Survey for Spring Construction of New Park Facilities

The Village of Rhinebeck Board of Trustees convened on August 12, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, primarily focusing on upcoming construction projects and community planning efforts.

The meeting began with an update on the progress of a significant project requiring a detailed land survey. The board is currently obtaining quotes for this survey, which is essential for finalizing the project's design. The anticipated timeline includes preparing bidding documents during the winter, with plans for construction to commence in the spring. The schedule aligns with the timeline outlined in the grant application, and officials expressed confidence that there would be no delays.

A board member clarified that the survey would involve a topographic assessment of the land, which is crucial for accurate construction planning. The survey will provide detailed information about the location of existing features, such as playground equipment and trees, to minimize impacts on current facilities. This approach aims to ensure that the project integrates well with the existing landscape.

The meeting concluded with an invitation for questions, indicating an openness to community input as the project progresses. Overall, the discussions highlighted the board's commitment to thorough planning and community consideration in upcoming developments.
