The Village of Rhinebeck was eager, determined, and relentless in its mission to improve resident’s lives. The Village had systematically targeted municipal and civic improvements over the course of the last two years, and had efficiently underwent several Capital projects. The Village updated and digitized its Village codes to make them more accessible to the people, converted all lighting in municipal buildings and parks to LED, dedicated a flagpole, planted trees, installed new electrical charging-stations, placed new sidewalks and much more. The total cost of all improvements were almost $500,000, which the Village mostly funded from outside sources. Initially the Village didn’t imagine such a structured approach to its improvements, rather, it merely intended to offer improvements to its residents by imagining what they needed and what they wanted. However, now the Village operates with numerous committees and liaisons to maintain, and continue, the upward growth of the Village!
