Get Involved
The Beacon-Hopewell Rail Trail Study was guided by an Advisory Committee with representatives from Dutchess County, New York State Department of Transportation, Metro-North/MTA, City of Beacon, Village of Fishkill, Town of Fishkill, Town of East Fishkill, and the Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail. We also worked with elected officials, local boards, key agencies, community organizations, and potential rail trail users, like you!
We held a series of virtual and in-person events to get feedback and help guide the planning process. See our presentations below:
