Second session for Century Blvd. plan set for March 15

MILLERTON — On Saturday, March 15, a second public information session on the proposed transformation of Century Boulevard will be held at the NorthEast-Millerton Library Annex at 1 p.m.

The meeting is a follow-up to last month’s public session on the “complete street” plan for the boulevard. Design concepts which emphasize public safety will be unveiled at the meeting. The revision, which will be partially funded through the Hudson River Green Community Planning Grants Program and the Northeast Dutchess Fund of the Berkshire-Taconic Community Foundation, is expected to provide a much-needed face-lift for the very well-traveled thoroughfare.

The session is expected to last approximately 90 minutes. Light refreshments will be served.
