Central Catskills Collaborative meets Jan. 19

Posted

The Central Catskills Collaborative (CCC) will meet Thursday, Jan. 19 at 5 p.m. to continue discussing the Catskill Mountains Scenic Byway and revisions to the Corridor Management Plan which is being updated. 

The public is welcome to this meeting which will be held via Zoom. Contact CCC coordinator Carol O’Beirne at carol.obeirne@gmail.com to receive the Zoom link.

The group, made up of representatives of eight municipalities along New York State Routes 28 and 30 from Hurley to Andes and to Roxbury, will review the recommended actions from the Byway’s 2014 Corridor Management Plan and what’s been accomplished on those actions before discussing new recommendations and objectives for the revised plan.

The updated plan is to propose the extension of the existing Byway to include part of the town of Hurley on state Route 28 in Ulster County, and part of the town of Roxbury on state Route 30 in Delaware County. The extension will also involve a stretch of state Route 30 in Margaretville and Middletown.

Revisions to the Corridor Management Plan will be submitted to the New York State Department of Transportation for review, and ultimately to the NYS Scenic Byway Advisory Board for review and approval.
