Hyde Hall renovations to be discussed during public meeting in Springfield


SPRINGFIELD CENTER _ The state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation’s Central Region office will host a public meeting in January to discuss proposed improvements to the Hyde Hall historic site at Glimmerglass State Park in Cooperstown.

The meeting will be at 7 p.m. Jan. 14 at the Springfield Community Center at 137 County Route 29A in Springfield Center. Representatives of Barton & Loguidice, an Albany-based landscape architecture and engineering firm, will be present, along with state parks staff.

The proposed project would restore bridge access from the Tin Top gatehouse to the Hyde Hall mansion, upgrade the Tin Top parking area and install a storm-water culvert below the park road. It would also include utility and repair work to the Tin Top building.

The meeting is open to the public. A brief presentation will be followed by a question-and-answer period.
