Cold Spring will ask State Parks for public hearing on Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail FEIS
Summary
Trustees authorized the mayor to work with consultants to request that New York State Department of Parks hold a public hearing and accept comments on the Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail FEIS released 01/07/2026; the village attorney suggested preparing a response to findings.
The Board of Trustees authorized the mayor to work with village consultants and the village attorney to request that the New York State Department of Parks hold a public hearing and accept public comment on the Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail Final Environmental Impact Statement, a document the board said was released on 01/07/2026.
The chair said the FEIS is "roughly 1000 pages" and noted the village attorney recommended requesting a hearing and preparing a response to several findings the village views as problematic. The board authorized drafting a letter to State Parks and agreed the letter would be circulated to trustees for review before being sent.
Trustees discussed whether the letter should come from the mayor on behalf of the board or from the village attorney; they authorized staff to draft the letter and return it to the board for final review. The village indicated neighboring municipalities (Philipstown and Nelsonville) plan to submit similar requests.
