Dutchess Ave Sidewalk Replacement (completed May 15th)
Dutchess Ave Sidewalk Replacement Sidewalk on east side of Dutchess Ave was replaced and improved in May. The sidewalk was made wider and curbing installed. Prior to the replacement, there was no actual curbing and large sections of the sidewalk were in terrible condition. This stretch of sidewalk is a main conduit of foot traffic from parking spaces on Century Blvd to main street.




Additional Parking on South Center Street
South Center Street Parking Just down the street from the Community Center a parcel of land that Dutchess County owns is being converted into additional parking. This parcel has already been enhanced by the Village of Millerton Highway Department to include direct access to the Hudson Valley Rail Trail. One structure has been removed and the existing structure's fate has yet to be determined. The timeline for completion is the middle of June.



All Hazards Mitigation
WHAT IS HAZARD MITIGATION?
Natural hazards have the potential to cause property damage, loss of life, economic hardship, and threats to public health and safety. Hazard mitigation measures are the things you do today to be more protected in the future. They are measures taken before a disaster happens to reduce the impact that future disasters will have on people and property in the community. Mitigation reduces the risk of loss and creates a more disaster-resistant and sustainable community. Hazard mitigation measures are essential to breaking the typical disaster cycle of damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage.

PURPOSE AND NEED FOR THE PLAN
Hazard mitigation plans are developed BEFORE a disaster strikes. The plans identify community policies, actions, and tools for long-term implementation to reduce risk and potential for future losses. Adopted, implemented and maintained on an ongoing basis, these plans will gradually, but steadily, lessen the impacts associated with hazard events. As of November 1, 2004 communities without a FEMA-approved hazard mitigation plan are not eligible for FEMA project grant monies under programs such as the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), Flood Mitigation Assistance Program (FMA) and Pre- Disaster Mitigation Grant Program (PDM).
