After a tumultuous September 8 public hearing, what’s next for the proposed Historic Huguenot Street (HHS) visitors’ center in New Paltz?
According to Mike Baden, director of planning, zoning and code enforcement for the Village of New Paltz, the recently proposed 7400-square-foot Historic Huguenot Street (HHS) visitors’ center will require two approvals: site plan approval from the planning board and Historic Preservation Commission approval (because it is located in a National Register area).
These are the functions of the site plan, reviewed by the village planning board.
According to Baden, it is expected that the planning board, which at this point has had only a very preliminary presentation of the project, will be the lead agency.
Several residents at the hearing had expressed concerns over the archeological sensitivity of the site where the building is being proposed.
