The Town of Poughkeepsie has initiated the development of a Natural Resources Inventory (NRI) and Open Space Plan. The purpose of the public workshop will be to present the NRI component of the project. The workshop will include a presentation featuring an overview of the purpose, scope, and schedule of the project as well as the draft mapping.
The public will have the opportunity to participate in live polling as well as a Q&A session. The information gathered from this activity will be used to help inform the preparation of the NRI. Following the event, the presentation and materials will be posted to the project website.

The State’s Board on Electric Generation Siting and the Environment wants to hear from you. It’s holding online public hearings on the Danskammer proposal.
The owner of the Danskammer power plant on the Hudson River in the Town of Newburgh proposes replacing the current facility — which operates less than five percent of the time — with one that will run virtually nonstop.
On March 1, 2021, Danskammer’s application was deemed complete by the New York State Siting Board. This marks the commencement of the Article 10 permitting process, which can last from 12-18 months. During this time, trial-type evidentiary hearings will be held, along with opportunities for public comments.
