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 […]

At our listening sessions last week, several of you commented that the process seemed to be moving fast, with too little community input. We hear your concern, and have decided to push back our submission to the Planning Board until August. This gives us time to absorb what we hear at the July 13th community meeting, and hold another set of listening sessions in late July. We also promised to share the top themes from the listening sessions; those are listed below. For those who were unable to attend or who need clarification, we have compiled a list of Frequently Asked Questions which can now be found on our FAQ page. Thanks to all those who sent us some excellent questions to respond to. We hope you can join us for next week’s community meeting, which is 7:00-9:00 p.m. at the Trumansburg Conservatory. The presentation will begin at 7:00, followed by a Q & A. Listening Session Themes Taxes: Residents asked general questions about how INHS rental properties are taxed and others wanted to know specific tax details for INHS’s Community Land Trust. Density: Some residents felt that Hamilton Square would be too urban and that it would alter the character […]
