The PoughkeepsieTown Board Meeting - Wednesday, November 4, 2026

The Town of Poughkeepsie Town Board meeting was held November 4, 2026. Infrastructure and funding actions included approval of a resolution supporting the Town’s application to the Dutchess County Transportation Council for a Boardman Road/Zaxway pathway planning study, and authorization for the Town Clerk to seek proposals for a feasibility study on rail-trail connections along Poughkeepsie Creek Road. The Board also scheduled a November 18 public hearing on an application for Dutchess County Housing Infrastructure Grant Program funding, ahead of the application deadline. It ratified acceptance of water-infrastructure assistance funding for underdrain/filter-drain work; no dollar amounts, contract awards, or vendors were identified. These actions passed without opposition. The 2027 town budget hearing was closed, with further budget discussion planned for November 18; no budget totals were stated.

The Board continued public hearings on proposed zoning changes for a Mavis Tire facility at Hudson Heritage and agricultural-district procedures, with no final decisions on those matters. It also heard a private developer’s preliminary Casper Hill Golf Course redevelopment concept, including housing, a hotel, trails, and conservation areas; the proposal was not approved, and residents raised concerns about school capacity, neighborhood impacts, and trail access. The Board adopted an amendment extending the sidewalk snow-clearing period to 24 hours and approved a resolution allowing the Town to address outstanding maintenance at 34 Brooklyn Farms Road and charge the property owner. No procurement contract was awarded.
