Mayor Steve Noble is pleased to introduce local resident Joe Chenier as the new Superintendent of the Department of Public Works. Joe will begin next Monday, September 19th, and is looking forward to working with Department staff to serve our community! 

As a follow up to Kingston's first community budget forum,  the City has  launched a short survey to solicit feedback from community members about their priorities in regards to the budget and services. This anonymous and confidential survey takes only a few moments to complete. The results of this survey will be made available to the Mayor and the Common Council so that they may use this input as they craft and revise the proposed 2017 budget, as well as future budgets.

Please take the short survey here. 

The survey will be open until this Friday, September 16th.

Overhaul of North Front St. Lot Begins

Work on the second of two municipal parking

lots on  North Front St. has begun  this week.

The lot, located next to Redwood Restaurant, will be closed for  approximately one month, beginning this week. Like its neighboring lot  across the street, this project  will utilize green infrastructure, including the 

installation of surfacing intended to prevent  storm water from running into the nearby  Esopus Creek. Alternative parking may be  found at Dietz Stadium (with the exception of  permit-only parking spaces) and at the  Kingston Plaza. 

Developers Conference to be held this Thursday

Mayor Steve Noble is pleased to announce the release of a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for three separate parcels owned by the City of Kingston. 

The parcels are identified in the RFQ as the "Former Uptown Parking Garage Site" (21 North Front St. and Odd Side of Schwenk Drive, SBL# 48.80-1-26); "North Front Street Parking Lot, North Side" (65-77 North Front St., SBL #48.314-2-16); and "North Front Street Parking Lot, South Side" (72-82 North Front St., SBL # 48.330-3-3(4)(5); 178 Green St., SBL #48.330-3-29; 69-71 Crown St., SBL #48.330-3-9.) 

The City is seeking a highly qualified developer to propose signature mixed-use project(s) which will enhance and complement the current structures and use patterns existent in the neighborhood. The City is seeking responses which will enhance the Uptown Business District's viability through the expansion of housing/lodging and commercial/retail opportunities. The proposals should reflect the administration's vision for a vibrant urban project which creates a sense of place sufficient to knit the proposed project with the surround historic district and nearby historic properties. The City will consider these parcels separately or jointly. 

A Developers Conference has been scheduled for this Thursday, September 15, 2016 at 1:00pm at 21 North Front St. 

The RFQ is due to the Purchasing Office at City Hall on October 27, 2016 at 11:00am.
