Target: Parksville Priorities Committee
Region: United States of America
Web site: www.parksvilleny.org
Background (Preamble):
Four years ago, a group of concerned citizens formed the Parksville Priorities Committee (PPC), a not-for-profit organization interested in revitalizing the hamlet of Parksville. Parksville was once one of the most populated and thriving communities in the Catskills.
It has since suffered severe economic downturns to the point that only a few businesses and residents remain. Sullivan County has been depressed for a long time as well. We believe that along with the efforts of many citizens of Sullivan County, as well as many other concerned individuals and organizations throughout New York State, that we can revitalize Parksville with the support and voices of those that want to make a change in Sullivan County.
The Department of Transportation (DOT) has budgeted over $90 million, re-routing the highway around Parksville. The highway initiated in the 1950's ran through Parksville, dividing the hamlet, making it unwalkable and difficult to stop and enjoy.
Because the new highway construction now bypasses the hamlet, it opens the opportunity to restore the community. The DOT has created a beautiful exit 98 off of Route 17, soon to be Interstate 86, an easy-off, easy-on exit, and a grand, inviting presentation to Main Street, Parksville, and its historic pharmacy building on the corner of Main Street and Short Avenue. The Department plans to beautify with landscaping and street restorations. The PPC has applied for grants to restore lighting, curb appeal and to develop a park.
There is growing interest in Parksville's developments, but we need your voice to support the PPC. The PPC developed a website http://www.parksvilleny.org where you can see their mission statement. The plan is to make Parksville the first planned community in Sullivan County, a walkable hamlet with stores, bank, grocery, pharmacy, medical offices, clothing stores, etc., as it used to be.
Please sign this petition to show your support for a planned community in Parksville in a concerted effort to assist in the re-growth of Sullivan County.
