Special Meeting Rhinecliff Hamlet Advisory Council Dec 22
Where Do We Go From Here?
On December 15, the Rhinebeck Town Board voted 3-2 to keep the proposed Rhinecliff Hamlet Extension in the Town Comprehensive Plan – despite years of strong and consistent opposition to the proposal in its various forms from the Rhinecliff Hamlet Advisory Council and residents of Rhinecliff. In addition, the Board voted 5-0 to amend the Comp Plan to allow up to 200 units of senior housing at the former Holy Cross site.
This special meeting has been called to hear from the public about the Board’s actions, and to discuss possible strategies for the Hamlet moving forward. Please plan to attend if at all possible.
