Stakeholders convene on Delaware & Hudson Rail Trail management plan; RPC staff involved
Summary
RPC staff and local stakeholders held a first management‑plan meeting for the Delaware & Hudson Rail Trail to discuss future use and economic development opportunities; the process will inform a formal management plan.
A commissioner reported on Oct. 21 that RPC staff organized a stakeholder meeting for the Delaware & Hudson (D&H) Rail Trail management plan, drawing town officials and state partners to discuss trail use, management and economic development potential.
The meeting included representatives from towns along the D&H corridor, the Lake Champlain‑Lake George regional planning partners and state rail‑trail program staff. Nick Stark, RPC staff, helped organize the meeting, which the commissioner described as the first step in a project to prepare a management plan for the D&H trail.
Commissioners discussed that the management plan is intended to inform trail governance, maintenance priorities and opportunities for community and economic development along the corridor. The timeline for plan completion was not specified at the meeting; staff said additional stakeholder engagement and follow‑up work are planned.
No formal vote was taken; the item was reported for information.
