City of Newburgh residents are invited to meet with Scenic Hudson, the design team and the Quassaick Creek Greenway Steering Committee on October 3 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Newburgh Free Library for an open house and public launch of the Quassaick Creek Greenway Feasibility Study.

The purpose of the greenway committee is to pursue a possible public trail along the Quassaick Creek which will allow more residents and visitors to enjoy the natural surroundings while also providing educational opportunities. Furthermore, this will also lead to more protection of the natural body of water and surrounding area.

Representatives from Orange County, Orange County Land Trust, the City of Newburgh, the Town of New Windsor, and the Quassaick Creek Watershed Alliance have joined in collaboration with Scenic Hudson to pursue this endeavor.
