The band stage under construction at Dutchman’s Landing in Catskill is one of many improvements planned for a big expansion of the park.
CATSKILL — An engineering firm is redesigning the parking lot at Dutchman’s Landing, county officials said Tuesday. The result? Maximum efficiency. The county has hired Creighton Manning Engineering to draft the plans. Although the park is owned by the village, the lot is also used for the Historic Catskill Point, which is owned by the county.
“We were able to maximize the existing parking spaces,” Deputy Greene County Highway Superintendent Scott R. Templeton said during the Public Works committee meeting. The number of parking spaces will increase from 39 to 167 with the new design. In addition to repaving and restriping the parking lot, the crew will also be looking to alleviate any drainage issues, he said. “We were able to add 24
boat spaces,” Templeton said. “Somehow there was no designated boat space.” The largest parking space will be 45 feet, Templeton said, designed to accommodate a truck and trailer parked diagonally. Ideally, boaters will back into these spots, Templeton said, adding that he believes proper signage is key. The new and improved parking lot is just one of the upgrades taking place at the park.

COXSACKIE — The village of Coxsackie has been awarded a $100,000 Local Waterfront Revitalization Program and is now collecting input from local residents to see how they want to see their village enhanced. The village committee tasked with overseeing the grant held an open house at Coxsackie Village Hall on Wednesday to gather ideas and suggestions from the community. “The village of Coxsackie received a grant from the Department of State to prepare a Local Waterfront Revitalization Program,” said Susan Caruvana from Elan Planning and Design, the firm that is assisting the village with the planning process. “The committee will come up with policies and projects that can be used to revitalize the community and get economic development going again, and hopefully increase or enhance public access to the waterfront, either visual or physical access. The ideas will come from the open house and from the community. They will provide us with a vision for the community.” The $100,000 grant is to be used for planning purposes, with the village picking up 25% of the tab. Once the plan is in place, the village will then be able to apply for other grants to get the actual revitalization projects done. “The key factor is getting a broader view of what the residents are looking for and then trying to implement a plan where we can go after state grants and other means of funding to be able See GRANT A8

AG announces funding for body-worn cameras By Massarah Mikati Columbia-Greene Media
KINGSTON — Thirteen counties across New York State will be receiving a total of over $1 million to fund police body-worn cameras, the attorney general announced Friday. At a press conference with the Ulster County Sheriff’s Office, Attorney General Letitia James said her office would be funding the purchase of nearly 900 body-worn cameras and over 300 body-worn
camera systems for police departments and sheriffs’ offices including the Albany County Sheriff’s Office, Buffalo Police Department, Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, Rochester Police Department and Syracuse Police Department. No funding was allocated for Greene County and Columbia County. “The importance of bodyworn cameras cannot be overstated,” James said. “They are critical tools for transparency, accountability and protecting
public safety. And when I say public safety, I mean the safety of both civilians and police officers who dedicate their lives to protecting us every day.” Local jurisdictions are receiving grants through James’ Capture an Account of a Material Situation (CAMS) program, which is funded with money recovered from her office’s takedown of organized crime. Each jurisdiction which applied received the grant, See CAMERAS A8
