There was a lengthy agenda before the Plattsburgh Common Council’s Finance and Community Development Committee Thursday evening. It included a number of appointments, presentations and updates on projects.
The members of the Finance and Community Development Committee are all the common councilors. It’s chaired by Mayor Chris Rosenquest. They heard an update on Downtown Revitalization Initiative, or DRI, from Director of Community Development Matt Miller.
“Of course the council’s aware of the status of the Durkee Street project, currently in litigation," Miller said. "For the streetscape and riverfront access projects, construction for the Arts Park is still ongoing. We expect completion of that project by the end of July. The remaining streetscape and riverfront access projects: the riverfront walk and the improvements to Durkee Street those are tied up with the schedule for the Durkee development project because all of those construction timelines are going to have to align. So it’s slowly, slowly winding down the DRI.”
