Congressman Hinchey Praises Public Access

Circa 2001: Congressman Hinchey Praises Public Access at the Proposed Cantine Mill Park

In 2001, Saugerties’ hometown congressman Maurice Hinchey promoted Cantine Mill property as an opportunity for Saugerties’ citizens to take advantage of the magnificent views of historic Cantine Dam, which is in the heart of Saugerties’ Historic Business District.

Now, in 2009 congressman Hinchey dismisses requests for public access to the same Cantine Mill site stating its location as “…not even the best view of the falls.” Eight (8) years makes a big difference, especially when you are one of the Partition Street Project’s (Cantine Mill) present owners.

We’re genuinely proud of our hometown congressman. He’s been a tireless advocate for Hudson Valley and its natural resources. Please help us convince Maurice that Saugerties is worth the extra effort to make the Partition Street Project better for Saugerties citizens and our business district.
