_Editor's note: This article previews a scheduled meeting based on the published agenda packet. After the meeting is held and video is released, coverage will be updated with the actual discussion and any votes taken._ The Croton Board of Trustees will consider a slate of grant applications totaling more than $2 million at its Wednesday, July 15 meeting, headlined by a $600,000 request to relocate the village salt shed from Veterans Plaza to a new site at Croton Point Park. The salt shed relocation, the largest single grant request on the agenda, would use a Water Quality Improvement Project grant from the state Department of Environmental Conservation to remove the existing storage structure and build a replacement on county-owned land. The total project cost is estimated at $750,000, with the village committing a $150,000 match. Trustees discussed the relocation at a June work session as part of a broader update on the village's Consolidated Funding Application strategy. A separate resolution would authorize applying for $1,236,000 through the state Environmental Facilities Corporation's Water Infrastructure Improvement Act to rehabilitate an existing 6-inch water main on Harrison Street and extend a new main on Sunset Trail. The project would connect the rehabilitated main to an existing 12-inch main to create a water loop, improving reliability for residents in that area. The village would contribute a $370,000 match from the Water Fund. The board will also classify the project as a Type II action under SEQRA. Trustees will also consider applying for $125,000 from the state Environmental Protection Fund to create engineered construction plans for a multi-purpose recreational community center at Gouveia Park, with the village matching that amount for a total design cost of $250,000. The project aims to adaptively reuse the existing house on the property, part of the broader vision trustees first outlined at a March public meeting to transform the Gouveia estate into a community arts and recreation hub. A smaller resolution would authorize a $50,000 application to the state DEC's Urban and Community Forestry Program for a comprehensive tree inventory of village streets and parks. On the waterfront, trustees will consider a resolution declaring a New York State Department of Transportation project to replace an overhead sign structure along Route 9 consistent with the village's Local Waterfront Revitalization Program. The Waterfront Advisory Committee reviewed the project on July 8 and recommended consistency, finding that three of the program's 44 policies were applicable — covering non-structural flood measures, safeguards for major coastal actions, and public access to recreation resources. The board will be asked to adopt a revised Debt Policy, the first update since the original was adopted in January 2017. The new version reflects a significant reduction in village obligations — outstanding general fund debt has decreased by more than $10 million since the policy was first written, to $20.1 million as of June 1. Annual debt service of $2.94 million currently represents about 12 percent of general fund appropriations, well under the policy's long-range goal of 16 percent. Two resolutions are on the proposed (non-consent) portion of the agenda. Trustees will consider accepting a proposal from Princeton Hydro Engineering to review Kaplan's Pond at a cost of $8,500. The pond's dam condition has been a subject of trustee concern in recent months. The board will also consider re-establishing the HEART Committee as an ad-hoc committee under the Village Board. On the consent agenda, trustees will approve the 45th annual Harry Chapin Memorial Run Against Hunger, set for October 18 with a virtual option from October 10 through 17. The 10K race will again use the alternate route created last year to avoid the closed Quaker Bridge. Other consent items include a $75,036.55 change order for the ongoing Cleveland Drive paving project, a lease amendment with T-Mobile for the cell antenna at the Municipal Building, and a $22,641.22 budget amendment covering police overtime related to Con Edison gas main work. The packet includes correspondence from the Town of Cortlandt regarding proposed omnibus zoning text amendments — covering definitions, dimensional regulations, accessory dwelling units, and wetland procedures — for which the town has scheduled a July 21 public hearing. A scanned letter from New York State Homes and Community Renewal re-certifying Croton as a Pro-Housing Community for 2026 is also filed for the record. --- **Source documents:** - [Voucher Warrant — July 15, 2026](https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026-07/bc94cf6f0f0b8ab8098ce118b444042d52c46829.pdf) - [F-2026-0322 Federal Aid Notification — NYSDOT Overhead Sign Replacements](https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026-06/7433bc06bbf427628cdbe8688b1eec76131acb8a.pdf) - [F-2026-0322 LWRP Consistency Review Memo — NYS DOS](https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026-06/ef8633cdcf272ebbd5aa8de6f903937bc675dc8b.pdf) - [WAC Memo to Village Board — Overhead Sign LWRP Review](https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026-07/944c31a76b31a033b7dfb15c1bb13b35648ed5bf.pdf) - [LWRP Policy Analysis — NYSDOT Overhead Sign Structure](https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026-07/3f01ffcd39866163c79bce1c1f5b43baab67b43c.pdf) - [Resolution 166-2026 — LWRP Consistency, Route 9 Overhead Sign](https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026-07/c0563d6cd82389c02284e1c6ce134591c03cda39.pdf) - [Harry Chapin Run Letter — Mike Grayeb, Race Director](https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026-07/f6e3442064fbfb4eb45040b9e6c4235d0f32025e.pdf) - [Resolution 165-2026 — Harry Chapin Run Approval, File Correspondence](https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026-07/bd8a7a64fef7214fdcf2be945e16bcbeb82fd0ed.pdf) - [Town of Cortlandt Omnibus Zoning Text Amendments — Final](https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026-07/25eab424d55a3e611d90cc4f8b03df3a9c633011.pdf) - [Cortlandt Resolution 166-2026 — Schedule Public Hearing July 21](https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026-07/0c56b9bb8c323f2812cbf01a71e6cf6f40d4de05.pdf) - [NYS HCR Pro-Housing Community Letter](https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026-07/b07bb84efe987e57963d4160aae38992460e555a.pdf) - [Revised Debt Policy — Village of Croton-on-Hudson, 2026](https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026-07/a0852393248c2210b370128a0fadb7fd220e15b9.pdf) - [Resolution 167-2026 — Adopt Revised Debt Policy](https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026-07/5e5145bb98955bd6430a13c426b6301cba238513.pdf) - [Resolution 168-2026 — CFA Grant for Gouveia Park Engineering](https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026-07/2795f9d6d6cb26f14203bca31fc1ba59d1148657.pdf) - [Resolution 169-2026 — Tree Inventory and Assessment Grant](https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026-07/259addfb964c15cb413424db80be0710ca284ccf.pdf) - [Resolution 170-2026 — Salt Shed Relocation WQIP Grant](https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026-07/3e2ff5bb9d0fc782731ac2cf9e455fb797caa9b7.pdf) - [Resolution 171-2026 — Harrison Street Water Infrastructure WIIA Grant](https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026-07/8d8e102a027de6a04552961cc97e8eea5c2d158f.pdf) - [Resolution 172-2026 — Harrison Street SEQRA Type II Determination](https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026-07/8d24e91d45fbd7ac2cafafefc95b0943a01fb91d.pdf) - [Resolution 173-2026 — Cleveland Drive Paving Change Order](https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026-07/3df8bac20601e1c7da5694fcbdd3d836487bd845.pdf) - [Resolution 174-2026 — T-Mobile Lease Amendment](https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026-07/1e0a1f004ed80b1419362f9403a2edf37a4b279d.pdf) - [Resolution 175-2026 — Police Overtime Budget Amendment](https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026-07/f9618ba4e0578cab42916e8e0bc55746f8b4c857.pdf) - [Draft Minutes — July 1, 2026 Regular Meeting](https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026-07/32c4d539a0396bc08ad0376496e4b79fe2b6ddc5.pdf) - [Kaplan's Pond Proposal — Princeton Hydro](https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026-07/c0a1d0d441438d54ed9b6ac24133f203d854ca29.pdf) - [Resolution 176-2026 — Kaplan's Pond Review](https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026-07/a9fba5e1d83281843334a175b3dcd7bde8e79a29.pdf) - [Resolution 177-2026 — Re-establish HEART Committee](https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026-07/df4bda351591f85b1925df2c4026f774d24e4b00.pdf) Related coverage: - [March 3, 2026 — From Private Estate to Public Arts Hub: Village Unveils Vision for Gouveia Park Transformation](/article/84) - [May 6, 2026 — Trustees Adopt Tax Exemptions for Military, Police Surviving Spouses, and Low-Income Seniors; Award $702,000 Paving Project](/article/115) - [June 24, 2026 — Board Hears Pitch for Battery Energy Storage Revenue, Moves Forward on Animal Code Rewrite, Tweaks Winter Parking Rules](/article/143)
