Balloon Test Mock-Up at Historic Huguenot Street

As part of its pending application for a new education and visitors’ center, Historic Huguenot Street has scheduled a mock-up of the proposed center on Friday, June 26 starting at 11:00 a.m. A series of large helium balloons will be installed to mark the corners (red balloons) and roof edges (blue balloons) of the proposed structure. The balloons will remain in place until approximately 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 27.

Representatives from Historic Huguenot Street, ADG architects, and the Village of New Paltz Historic Preservation Commission will be on hand to answer questions from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. on June 26.

In case of heavy rain and/or winds in excess of 8 mph, the balloon test will be moved to Monday, June 29, following the same schedule.

A follow-up summary of the test will be presented at the Historic Preservation Commission’s July 13 meeting, 7 p.m. in the Village Hall meeting room, 25 Plattekill Avenue. Comments and questions from the public can be sent to hpc@villageofnewpaltz.gov in advance of, or offered in person at, this meeting.
