Platform Information Meeting Scheduled

On Monday, November 25, the Village of Cooperstown will hold an informational meeting at 5 p.m. with Michael Haas of Delta Engineering, prior to the village’s 6 p.m. board meeting. Haas will review plans for the proposed viewing and fishing platform to be installed at the northern terminus of Pioneer Street, in Lakefront Park.

According to Cooperstown Mayor Ellen Tillapaugh, the project—some eight years in the making—was conceptualized as a result of public input, including the village’s 2018 Parks Survey and numerous public charrettes for the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, which emphasized the need for greater ADA-compliant accessibility and access to Otsego Lake via Lakefront Park for non-boaters, including a walking/fishing pier.
