On April 17th, 2017, U.S. Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer urged the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to immediately expedite approvals for a riverfront dock expansion project at Quiet Cove Riverfront Park in Poughkeepsie. Schumer said the proposed plan will increase and enhance recreation access to the Hudson River. Specifically, Schumer said the project should not be delayed because of bureaucratic red tape which could prevent the county from moving forward with construction. Schumer urged USACE to work with the town to get this project over the finish line and put USACE on notice to expedite Poughkeepsie’s application.
