Town Board issues SEQRA Negative Declaration for Abbey‑Kuehnle Park project
Summary
The Town of Erwin classified the Abbey‑Kuehnle Park capital improvement as an Unlisted Action under SEQRA, designated the Town Board as lead agency, and issued a Negative Declaration, clearing the way for design and implementation steps.
The Town of Erwin Town Board on July 14 classified the proposed capital improvement project at Abbey‑Kuehnle Park as an Unlisted Action under the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), designated the Town Board as lead agency, and issued a Negative Declaration.
The motion was moved by Council Member Jeremy A. Shepard and seconded by Council Member Franklin J. Acomb; the minutes record the vote as 5-0. The board’s action means, per the minutes, that the town concluded the proposed project will not have a significant adverse environmental impact under SEQRA and may proceed to design and implementation steps reflected in future capital planning.
Planning staff had earlier noted the town is pursuing capital and park projects as part of its 2026–27 capital program; Town Manager Melissa Greenthal recommended a parks tour in August to review current and potential future projects. The SEQRA action is a procedural environmental review step and does not itself authorize construction funding.
