A RESOLUTION BY THE HISTORIC SARATOGA-WASHINGTON ON THE HUDSON PARTNERSHIP SUPPORTING THE EXTENSION OF THE FISHCREEK PARCEL LOCATED ALONG THE HUDSON AND THE VILLAGE OF VICTORY.
WHEREAS, The Historic Saratoga-Washington on the Hudson Partnership has been established to build on existing public and private initiatives to fully realize the historic, natural and scenic, recreational and economic potential for the people of its region and the state as a whole and to facilitate and provide passive recreational activities including hiking, nature study and photography and to make recommendations regarding necessary facilities including paths and trails; and
WHEREAS, The Historic Saratoga-Washington on the Hudson Partnership finds that the proposed expansion of the Fish Creek Parcel located along the Hudson and the Village of Victory offers a unique opportunity to connect the Schuyler Estate with the Village of Victory. This site along the Fish Creek offers an extraordinary opportunity for historical interpretation with evidence found of the American Fortifications that stood on its banks during the American Revolution.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that The Historic Saratoga-Washington on the Hudson Partnership supports the extension of the Fish Creek Parcel located along the Hudson and the Village of Victory.
Thomas Richardson, Chairman
