RFP for Landscape Work for Town Park, Pine Plains, New York

Project Representative: Town Beautification Committee Contact: Suzanne C. Ouellette, Suzanne.ouellette293@gmail.com

P.O. Box 409, Pine Plains, New York

Design Program: The town of Pine Plains is seeking bids for landscape work to improve the appearance, usefulness, and social benefit of our small town park at the corner of Routes 199 and 82, in the center of Pine Plains.

Key parts of the program are:

(1) The selection and installation of a large and slow growing evergreen tree that will serve as the centerpiece for our annual Holiday Parade of Lights event. It replaces a tree that needed to be taken down because it had gotten too big for the site. The tree needs to be approximately 12 to 14 feet in height.

(2) The addition of a cherry tree to the northeast section of the park (near the barber shop). This will join the two existing cherry trees now in the park. The new tree should be compatible with those, probably with a caliper of 4 to 4.5 inches.

(3) The installation of four perennial beds as shown on site map.

(4) Installation of three shrub groupings - between new cherry tree and barber shop building, to left and right of park entrance at south west corner of park

(5) For all of the above, proper preparation of soil with screened topsoil, compost, and mulch (all delivered)

 (6) Laying down of sod for open areas in the park plan

Put $1M to work for housing affordability

If I had $1 million to improve housing affordability in Litchfield County, I would create a revolving Housing Opportunity Fund. Instead of spending the entire amount on one or two homes, I would use it to help local housing trusts acquire land or properties, provide down-payment assistance for qualified buyers, convert appropriate existing buildings into housing, and help cover some of the upfront costs that can prevent good housing projects from ever getting started.

Turning Back the Pages - September 17, 2026

125 years ago — September 1901

LIME ROCK — Matthew Patterson recently received a silver medal from the Canadian government as a token of his services during the Fenian raid in ‘71. The medal is suitably inscribed and is considerably heavier than a silver dollar. It depends from a silk tri-color and pin, and altogether makes a very neat souvenir.

Voices from our community about the housing we need for a healthy, vibrant future

Jordan Seibert and Riley Bossi

Shelly Dinelle

There’s a reason people say, “It takes a village to raise a child.” To thrive, a child needs a safe, stable place to call home. That’s the bedrock for health, dignity, and the chance to build a bright future. What kind of “village” does it take to create these homes?

Motivated by compassion and a drive to make housing more accessible, it took the Foundation for Norfolk Living years of hard work to create ten affordable homes at Haystack Woods. The “village” turned out to be a patchwork of support that included financial help from the DOH, a construction mortgage through Northwest Community Bank, and a Community Development Block Grant to purchase the property and pay for the road and infrastructure. The result? Two- and three-bedroom homes reserved for first-time homebuyers earning 60-80% of Litchfield County’s median income, and selling for $159,000 to $261,000. The condominium homes are deed-restricted and net-zero thanks to energy-efficient construction, solar panels, and battery storage, meaning the homebuyers will have no energy costs! Curious? Just Google “Haystack Woods” to learn more. It’s a remarkable accomplishment.
