Thank you to everyone who came out to the Conservatory last week to hear a presentation on the traffic impact analysis for the proposed Hamilton Square neighborhood. During our Q & A session afterwards, we received lots of important questions and comments. A summary of top themes is below. The presentation is posted here on the site, along with the full traffic study. This is the same study that was submitted to the Village last week – but it’s separated out from the rest of the documents we submitted for ease of reading. If you’re interested in looking at our full submission to the Village, documents can be found on their website. As a reminder, we will next present at the Planning Board meeting on Thursday, August 24 at 7:00 pm at the Fire Hall. If you can’t attend the meeting and would like to make a comment to the Planning Board, you can drop off or mail written statements to the Village offices. We’ve been hearing from people who are supportive of the project but hesitant to speak in public- making a written statement is an effective way to make sure your voice is heard!

Thank you to all those who came out to the Planning Board meeting on July 27th. There was a very interesting idea floated by Paula Horrigan that we wanted to address regarding public open space. Paula was encouraging INHS/Claudia Brenner and the Village to have some public open space on the site. This is a great idea and something that we have planned but may not have explained very well. Our intention is that all of the trails, sidewalks, central green, and the playground on the site are open to the public. Yes, most of these amenities will be owned and maintained by INHS in the current plan – all but the sidewalks along the public street – however, we would certainly be open to a partnership with the Village if the Village wanted to take over ownership of some of this land. INHS has managed a playground for over 30 years on our campus at 115 West Clinton Street that is open to the public! The playground is on INHS land but anyone can enjoy it (and they do!). Most people do not know that it isn’t a public park. We are also doing this at our new development […]

We’d like to announce several upcoming opportunities for participation. First, a big thank you to everyone who attended the July 13th community meeting – we were impressed with the turnout! For those who couldn’t attend, we compiled the questions and comments from the Q & A session into several themes, which can be found further down in this message. Upcoming Events Thursday, July 27: We will attend the Planning Board meeting and provide a “sketch plan” presentation. This is merely to update the Board on where we are in our process and how we’re addressing concerns – the presentation will be roughly the same as that given at the July 13th community meeting. The Planning Board meeting will be at 7:00 p.m. at the Fire Hall. Tuesday, August 8: Attend a listening session! We heard requests for more listening sessions with evening time slots, so here’s your opportunity for a 30 minute small group conversation with Claudia Brenner and INHS. These sessions are for those who were unable to attend our first set of sessions in early July. Sessions will be from 4:00 – 8:30 p.m. at the Village Hall. SIGN UP HERE, or email Alena Fast / call her at 607-277-4500 ext […]
