There's lots to get to in this newsletter. But first, I hope you will join me in extending a big thank you to Highway Superintendent Richard Briggs and our entire Highway Department.

This past week of full-on winter has been challenging to say the least, with a 20-hour shift of plowing and salting on Monday, followed by a 16-hour day, 16 hours again and then back to full workdays. Luckily, today's nor'easter will miss us giving the crew time to enjoy some well-deserved down time.

The Highway Department's email is usually the place to send concerns and requests but -- for a change-- if you would like to convey personal thanks, please email:

THANK YOU!

REMINDER:

NO PARKING ON TOWN ROADS FROM NOVEMBER 1 THROUGH APRIL 15th

Greetings!

This past month, we celebrated our town's history in a big way and got good news about our future on several exciting fronts.

On January 10th, Hillsdale helped to kick off the nation's Semiquincentennial with two celebrations of Knox's "Noble Train of Artillery." Colonel Henry Knox and his team of volunteers, using sleds pulled by horses and oxen, transported 69 cannons from Fort Ticonderoga to Boston on a snowy trail that passed through Hillsdale on January 10, 1776.

The first celebration was held on the border of Hillsdale and Alford, Massachusetts, as part of the commemorations organized by Revolution 250 which started in early December at Fort Ticonderoga and ending in Boston on Evacuation Day (March 17th).

The second event, held on the same day, took place in front of a capacity crowd at Hillsdale Fire Company #1. Re-enactors wearing period costumes demonstrated how the cannons were lifted onto the sleds, showed how the oxen were used, and gave historical insight and context.

Thanks to the many people who made these successful Knox Trail events happen, including Hillsdale Town Historians Lauren Letellier and Christopher Atkins, Columbia County Historian Bill Better, Columbia County Clerk Holly Tanner, Robina Ward and Emily Stalker from our Clerk's office, Lauren Roberts from Saratoga250.com, Jonathan Lane from Revolution 250, elected officials and staff including New York Senator Michelle Hinchey, New York State Assemblymember Didi Barrett, Massachusetts State Senator Paul Mark, Massachusetts State Representative Leigh Davis, Governor Kathy Hochul and New York Secretary of State Walter T. Mosely.

See below for photos and coverage of the celebrations!

We also received some consequential news about our future:

First, the long-delayed start of construction of the Rail Trail Bridge over State Route 22 began right before the holidays. This link to Hillsdale promises to help supercharge business development in our Hamlet.

Then we learned of another truly extraordinary development for our town--a Smart Growth Grant from the State of New York in the amount of $111,060 for Hillsdale to update our Comprehensive Plan.

Thanks to Councilmember Jamie Carano Nordenstrom and Conservation Advisory Council (CAC) member Gretchen Stevens for doing the heavy lifting of writing and preparing the grant application. In addition, thanks to the Town Board for passing the resolution in support of the grant, the entire CAC, and our Town Clerk's office for their efforts.

The Town Board is looking forward to garnering the public input needed to update the Comprehensive Plan. This will be a multi-year process with many virtual and in-person opportunities to make your voice heard.

Mike Dvorchak

Hillsdale Awarded $111,060 State Grant to Update Comprehensive Plan



New York Secretary of State Walter T. Mosley informed the Town of Hillsdale that we have been awarded $111,060 to update our comprehensive plan, a legally required document that guides a community's vision, goals, and strategies for growth, development, and quality of life.

The grant comes from the state’s Environmental Protection Fund Smart Growth Community Planning Program, through Round 15 of the 2025 Consolidated Funding Application.

 “We are thrilled to be awarded this generous grant and thank everyone at the State level,” said Hillsdale Town Supervisor Mike Dvorchak. “It's been 30 years since we have fully updated this important planning document, and we're looking forward to the process.”

Dvorchak added, “The Town Board will create a system to garner the extensive public input needed to modernize the comprehensive plan. This will be a multi-year process with many virtual and in-person opportunities for residents, business owners, farmers, and others to make their voices heard.” 

Dvorchak thanked Town Councilmember Jamie Carano Nordenstrom and Conservation Advisory Council (CAC) member Gretchen Stevens for doing the heavy lifting of writing and preparing the grant application, along with Hillsdale Town Clerk Robina Ward for assisting in the process. 

"With technical support from Hillsdale’s Conservation Advisory Council and Climate Smart and Clean Energy Task Force, we sought funding that would support the costs of a planning consultant to assist with the preparation and local adoption of a new Comprehensive Plan, and legal consultants to review the revised plan and its applicability to the revised zoning code," said Carano Nordenstrom. "A Town-wide planning process can engage our community to incorporate new knowledge and emerging trends in land use, demographics, housing, infrastructure, water resources, and climate, and present actions and policies that inclusively address Smart Growth principles and contemporary needs."

"A Comprehensive Plan guided by Smart Growth Principles would support critical affordable housing development in areas where water and sewer infrastructure is available or planned, redevelopment in hamlets, protection of historic, agricultural, and natural resources, multi-modal-oriented streetscapes, equity and equality, and promotion of community-scale clean energy infrastructure," she continued. "Coordinated planning can address the shortage of quality affordable housing options in the face of rising costs and socioeconomic barriers to sustainable options. Hillsdale’s comprehensive planning opportunity rests in addressing these opportunities while maintaining our unique rural identity."

Stevens said the revised comprehensive plan “will reflect the changes in the town over the last 30 years, and describe ways to achieve today’s vision for a thriving community.”

She added, “With lots of input from Hillsdale residents, the plan will set forth the town’s best ideas for supporting a vibrant local economy, addressing the needs for affordable housing, bolstering diverse agriculture, developing local access to renewable energy, strengthening

environmental protections, reducing our carbon footprint, and anticipating, mitigating, and adapting to the impacts of climate change.”

The grant was covered on the front page of the Register Star.

Rail Trail Route 22 Bridge Project Has Begun!

That will mean a 26.5-mile trail that will connect our town to Millerton, Amenia, and Wassaic, including the Metro-North Wassaic rail station. This link is expected to bring many more visitors to our Hamlet, both from the south and all over the region, since Hillsdale will now be the northern gateway of the popular trail.

 The $4.9 million project, coordinated by the New York Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, is funded in part by $2.5 million in state money secured jointly by our state senator, Michelle Hinchey, and our state assemblymember, Didi Barrett. Thanks go to these two officials for their diligent and generous support of the rail trail over the many years.

Hamlet Park Bandshell Project Advances

At the January Town Board meeting, board members and the public were shown two designs that are being considered for a bandshell for Hamlet Park, a focal point as featured in the Chazen/Labella Plan. Board member Bart Ziegler, who has done extensive research on available bandshell kits, stated that there are only a few companies that make kits of this bandshell design (with three-sided covering for better sound projection and sound protection) for within our price range.

The top photo is the same model Copake installed in its Memorial Park a few years ago. The model in the lower photo differs in its design and materials. Both cost about the same.

Town Supervisor Mike Dvorchak said he hopes to have a bandshell kit ordered this spring and assembled this year. Funding for the project will be covered largely by grants from foundations and members of the public.

The goal of the bandshell is to create a gathering place for the town and visitors with events such as musical performances, theater, comedy acts, magic shows and speakers. The successful Jams in the Hamlet series in the summer of 2o21, after we emerged from the Covid lockdown, is our model.

But the bandshell will be just one new amenity envisioned for the park's upgrade. Also under consideration are a picnic pavilion, a pickleball court, rehabbing the basketball court, benches, a T-Ball field, and additional playground equipment. The renovation, spearheaded by the town's Hamlet Committee, is being guided by a design created by Chazen/LaBella, an engineering and landscape design firm, using community input and outreach.

For more information or to provide additional feedback, please contact BartZiegler@hillsdaleny.com

DMV Offices to Close for Statewide Technology Upgrade

The Columbia County Department of Motor Vehicles, along with all DMV offices in New York state, will undergo a large-scale system upgrade next month that will require the Hudson DMV, along with every other DMV, to be closed and potentially alter our business hours. 

In February, the New York State DMV is implementing the initial phase of a multi-year project to replace and modernize its aging technology systems. To bring the first part of the new system online, the state is ceasing all DMV operations, including online transactions and their phone system, at 2 p.m. on Friday, February 13, 2026.  Due to this, the Hudson DMV will be CLOSED to the public on Friday, February 13 to the public. Staff will report to work for training purposes.



The offices will remain closed Monday, February 16, the Presidents Day holiday, and Tuesday, February 17, with a planned reopening on Wednesday, February 18th provided we receive the go-ahead from State DMV leadership. 

During this time, the state DMV will migrate about 30 million records to the new system and bring the first phase of the upgrade online. Again, no DMV transactions will be able to be completed during this period, including through the state DMV website, and DMV phones also will not be answered.

The state DMV’s implementation timeline calls for offices to be open for customer transactions beginning Wednesday, February 18. We plan on opening that day at the normal time, 9 am on February 18.   Any changes to that will be posted on the county website (www.columbiacountyny.com) and on the County DMV Facebook page, which is Holly Tanner County Clerk/DMV. 



“As Co-Chair of the State DMV Committee for the NYS Association of County Clerks, I have been intimately involved in this transition,” stated County Clerk Holly Tanner, “including this shutdown period.  While it will be difficult for customers, there is no other way to accomplish the important work of migrating the data without shutting down.



"I pushed very hard on the state to announce this plan as early as possible, to give people enough time to do the DMV work that they need way ahead of the shutdown,” Tanner said.  “We also ask for patience when we reopen, as the entire state will be working with this new licensing system, and while we have all been in training, there will still be a learning curve.  The Hudson DMV does not do appointments; we are first-come, first-served, and if necessary, we will prioritize Columbia County residents first during the first few weeks.”  

ABOUT THE DMV SYSTEM UPGRADE

New York State DMV has contracted with software company FAST Enterprises, LLC, which has implemented similar systems in more than 20 other states, to help NYS DMV modernize its technology platforms and service delivery in two major stages over the next two years. The new technology will replace and consolidate a significant portion of DMV’s legacy technology, some of which is over 50 years old. The goal is to make the DMV more secure, stable, and agile, and to provide DMV customers with more efficient, secure, and convenient services. 

284 Highway Agreement Presented to Town Board

During our January meeting, Highway Superintendent Richard Briggs presented the annual 284 Agreement regarding permanent improvements to town roads funded by state CHIPS (Consolidated Local Street and Highway Improvement Program) money. The following roads were proposed for double-chip sealing, as they are currently loose-gravel roads:

-Lockwood Road 

Start at West End Road and stop at Texas Hill Road 

-Pumpkin Hill Road 

Start at Rodman Road and stop at Whippoorwill Road 

-Syre Lane 

Start at Overlook Drive and stop at the cul-de-sac 

-Willowbrook Lane 

Start at Mitchell Street and stop at the cul-de-sac

Approval of this agreement will be on the agenda for the Town Board's February meeting. To view the full 284 Agreement for the Hillsdale Highway Department for 2026, please click the link below.

Supervisor Dvorchak, New York Governor Kathy Hochul, and Senator Hinchey

I was honored to attend the Governor's State of the State on January 12th and grateful for the opportunity to thank the governor personally for the funding for the completion of the Harlem Valley Rail Trail Bridge over State Route 22 in her 2025 Budget. I invited her to the opening ceremony and stressed the huge economic impact it will have on our entire region, and she promised to bring her bike down for a ride.

Want to help keep the Roe Jan Park, a vital 300 acre protected green outdoor space, in the best shape? 

We know that many of us enjoy the Roe Jan Park by walking on the trails, sharing some stunning views, picnicking at various sites, shopping at the seasonal farmers market, listening to a concert in a converted barn, sending a child to its summer camp, snowshoeing, dog walking and participating in other forms of recreation. We also know that while it is a wonderful asset for our community, it requires our support to keep it in its best shape.

It is currently important to raise funds to match a significant grant from HRBT Foundation. The funds raised will go toward repairs and upgrades to the park’s infrastructure, including building roofs and furnaces that are used for community and other events. We hope donations from residents will help us to meet this challenge.

The Town created the HECDC, a 501(c)3, nonprofit organization, with the mission to support Hillsdale-based initiatives that enhance our quality of life and promote the Town's economic development.

If you’re anticipating an interesting story, the bare life facts of ELIJAH HATCH may not seem particularly intriguing at first. Born in 1730 in Rochester, Massachusetts, he moved to Hillsdale to farm, was married twice, served in the French and Indian War and then as a sergeant in the Albany County Militia, died at age 79, and is buried in a pioneer cemetery in Ohio. Wait a minute -- how did he end up in Ohio? Once you start digging, it’s one surprise after another.  



We know that a passel of Hatches had settled in the Green River area of northeast Hillsdale before the war. Elijah, his wife Kesiah, and their growing family were members of that clan. In 1773, a fateful year for this family, Kesiah (aged 41) died in her 10^th confinement. Compounding that blow, four of their children died that same year – Olive (aged 8), Abezer (3), Kezia (2), and the newborn Obed. (Smallpox, diphtheria, and scarlet fever were rife at the time.) Elijah was suddenly a single father of six children under the age of 16. 

Twenty-two Hillsdale veterans lost a first wife, and many of these quickly remarried, but not Elijah. The motherless family struggled along for two years and then… Elijah joined the Continental militia! Just 16 days after Lexington and Concord’s “shot heard round the world,” he signed up under Captain John McKinstry (a fellow Hillsdale resident) and marched off to help lift the siege of Boston. Elijah, at age 45, was one of the earliest official enlistees. Can you imagine how this decision would have impacted his young family?

As the war was winding down, and seven years after Kesiah’s death, Elijah married the widow Martha Cummings. By that time, some of his children were old enough to fend for themselves, but the family had more drama to come. Of the six surviving offspring, four passed away before the age of 50. As recorded in the memoir of his son Elijah Jr., the most problematic was John, “who was crazy from three years old till he died. He lived about 28 years, and was the most troublesome and expensive person to take care of that I ever saw.” One wonders how severe mental illness was handled in the 1700’s. 

The end of the war encouraged a great migration westward, pushing the boundaries of white civilization.

Elijah (now aged 71), Martha, and some family members abandoned their Hillsdale farms and became pioneers of the newly opened territory. They took wagons to Pennsylvania, then boarded a flatboat laden with seven horses, a wagon and carriage, farming equipment, and 15 men, women, and children. The Hatch family poled down rivers to the Ohio Company’s Purchase, a 1.5-million-acre tract on the new nation’s western frontier. Elijah lived another seven years as one of Ohio’s earliest settlers. 

According to his son, Elijah Jr., “He was a man of great strength, a man of strict honor and honesty. He held his mental faculties remarkably well till about four years before his death, at which time a severe fever broke him and he became a child and was very peevish.” This son survived to 81, became a judge, and served nine terms in the Ohio legislature. 



Note: Interested in the Knox Noble Train of Artillery? Two of our Hillsdale veterans served with Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys, who captured those Ticonderoga cannons from the British in 1775. They are ABRAHAM CARLEY SR., buried in the First Baptist cemetery on Hunt Road (headstones now dispersed), and ROBERT MILLER, a Minuteman, buried in the Krum Church cemetery on Harlemville Road.  

Please visit the Hillsdale Economic & Community Development Corporation - Giving Page to find out how you can contribute. For a donation of only $25, you will receive a copy of "American Revolutionary War Veterans of Hillsdale, NY," which contains many more fascinating stories about the patriots who now rest in quiet graves scattered around Hillsdale.

A Message from New Town Board Member Nico Hernandez

Hello Hillsdale! It is an honor to greet you as a new Town Board member. I ran for the same reason I became a volunteer firefighter: I love Hillsdale, and I want to help our community.

As a fan of Hillsdale history, growing up here myself and now raising my daughter here, I am conscious that we are all stewards of this beautiful place. We need to continue our efforts to better it out of respect for those who came before, and those who will continue these efforts after us.

With that said, I want to thank all the people who volunteer their time on town committees, nonprofits, and at town events. Hillsdale is so lucky to have you.

 Of course, there is one non-profit that is dear to my heart, and that is the Hillsdale Fire Company. It surprises many to know that from the Chief on down, all fire departments in Columbia County are 100% volunteer and on duty 24/7.

 This past year, we responded to a total of 94 calls, including structure fires, car accidents, helicopter medevacs, and even saved a cat stuck in the ceiling of a house. We have an incredibly committed and talented group of volunteers, but like all departments, we could really use more service-minded people to join our ranks.

 I do not come from a firefighting tradition. I joined five years ago because I kept hearing on the radio how urgently volunteers were needed, and I felt that this was my place to serve.

Since then, I have discovered that the fire department is an incredible place, where dedicated people from all backgrounds are united by their commitment to help anyone who needs it. It also offers a wide range of duties and opportunities for training and growth. I suppose the fact that five years later I am addressing you as a town board member is a testament to that.

This is not to say being a firefighter is easy. It can test you. But like a team sport, we take on challenges as a team, with positivity and support. There are certainly times when things are tough, and we look at each other and say, “Why do we volunteer to do this to ourselves?” The answer is obvious to every firefighter and fortifies our resolve: if not you, then who?

  I truly hope you will consider answering your community’s call and join the Hillsdale Fire Company. Members can join at 16, and our oldest active member is over 80 years old. Get to know your town in a whole new way by helping your neighbors and visitors when they need it the most. You can reach out through our Facebook page, or, as I did, just stop in when you see cars in the parking lot.
