Community Survey 

Share Your Experience with Rainfall Flooding in Cold Spring & Nelsonville

​

The Village of Cold Spring, in partnership with the Village of Nelsonville and the Town of Philipstown, received a New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Hudson River Estuary Program grant to better understand where flooding occurs and its impacts, and to identify community-prioritized strategies to address flooding in the Villages of Cold Spring and Nelsonville. 

​

To inform the project, we want to hear from you--residents and business owners in the Villages of Cold Spring and Nelsonville--about your experiences with rainfall flooding.  

 

To share your experiences, please complete this short survey by October 4, 2026.

​

Paper copies are also available in the Office of the Village Clerk, Village Hall, 258 Main Street, Nelsonville, NY 10516.
