KINGSTON – An architectural design team has been selected to draft plans for the Midtown to the Waterfront connectivity project in Kingston.
Mayor Shayne Gallo said Saratoga Associates will be the lead firm along with KC Engineering and Hone Strategic as partners.
Gallo said the project will see the transformation of the streetscape from Cornell Street in Midtown to the Kingston Point Rail Trail corridor to the Rondout Creek to the Hudson River at the proposed trailhead for the Promenade at Hudson Landing.
“It is part of that inter-modal, inter-network of trail that should have a positive impact, not only on quality of life, but this partnership also facilitates economic development as well,” the mayor said.
Gallo said the partnership between the city, Kingston Land Trust, church
communities and volunteers has set the stage for the Kingston Point Rail
Trail to come to fruition.
Most of the funding for the work with come from state grants with additional money coming from Central Hudson.
