ONLY A FEW DAYS LEFT

NYF provides an opportunity for stakeholders and community members to submit projects.
Cornwall and Cornwall-on-Hudson residents:
Have heard questions arise regarding the recently-poured 30' x 50' concrete pad tucked against the railroad tracks and nestled alongside the stream at the bottom of Dock Hill Road and within the confines of Donahue Memorial Park.
This pad serves as first phase of a pavilion project approved by the Village Board and supported via partial funding secured through a Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY) grant award in 2021.
The pavilion kit should arrive before Fall and the plan is the have installed before end of this construction season. Once erected, it will serve as a covered gathering space replete with picnic tables to be enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. It helps mitigate visits during inclement weather and will also be available for scheduled, Board-approved family, group, and community events. The attached photograph depicts view of pavilion, once constructed.
Important note: not one pine tree or lilac bush were harmed in this securing of designated space and we feel this will enhance the utility and opportunities at beautiful Donahue Memorial Park while safeguarding our native flora and fauna.
On behalf of the Village Board,
James A. "Jimmy" Gagliano
Mayor
In February 2023, Cornwall was awarded $4.5 million by Governor Kathy Hochul through the NY Forward (NYF) program. NYF is a comprehensive approach to boosting local economies by transforming communities into vibrant neighborhoods. As part of this effort, the Town of Cornwall and Village of Cornwall-on-Hudson are seeking input from local businesses about the challenges and opportunities for sustaining and expanding businesses along Cornwall's main commercial corridor. Your input will help us better understand the kinds of projects that should be advanced through NYF to enhance the commercial vitality of Cornwall.
This survey will be open to responses until July 28, 2023 Access through the link below: https://forms.microsoft.com/r/zXkzx2wvVp Questions? Email [email protected] or visit their website www.cornwallnyf.

NOTICE: Last night’s heavy rainstorms washed out portions of the CSX railway yet again. Coupled with the current forecast for more precipitation, CSX contractors have reoccupied Donahue Memorial Park (DMP) in order to repair washed-out tracks. This means more personnel, heavy equipment and material to be returned to the riverfront.
DMP WILL reopen to the general public on schedule today at Noon. Please – all visitors, I request that you fully respect the roped-off and barricaded construction areas and avoid the work crews that will be toiling around the clock to restore train service as soon as possible.
Thank you for understanding.
Mayor Gagliano
