| It is claimed that this will be bigger than
"Op Sail" of 1976, and will be extending from New York City to Montreal Canada.
| The economic future of Cold
Spring-on-Hudson will be positively
impacted by this year long celebration taking place during
2009, with strong emphasis from July 4 to the end of August,
with the tall ships and cruise ships
going up and down the Hudson River,
with Cold
Spring sitting right in the middle of the Hudson Gorge, the
Rhine River Vista of America as the background. No other
dramatic setting will compare with this pristing Historical
Village setting. This will probably be the choice place for
"on location" for TV crews doing remotes, and where do you
think they will stay, eat, shop. To the millions viewing
television, let alone those millions who will be traveling to
see the entertainment, museums, historical sites, and be able
to say they visited "Cold Spring" in the heart of the Hudson
Fjord (yes it is actually a fjord)
| Will real estate values increase dramaticly when these tourists happen to come here, and see what this unique Village has to offer and want to have their own place here. And what about the activity in the preceeding years, with all the anticipation and preparation, and public discussion. The spotlight will be shown most favorably on the Village as the pundants begin talking about what will be happening to this international celebration, with large corporations looking for facilities to have their business contacts, politicians, and friends to stay in the Village or hang on the Bear Mountain Bridge to see the tall ships passing below.
Cold Spring is located in the heart of the Huduson Highlands
in the narrowest section of the River in the steep sided
Hudson George
just opposit West Point Academy. This will be the area for viewing
and taking photographs.
Immediately south of Cold Spring
at Constitution Island is where during the Revolutionary war
the huge Chain was set across to West Point to prevent the British
Fleet from taking control of the River. Imagine the tourists
lining and parking along the roadways, or packing the
Bear Mountain Bridge to photograph the tall ships.
Perhaps that is why so much
work will be done before 2009 on Route 9d, which
goes from Cold Spring Village South to the bridge, and is going to have
parking, pullouts, and traffic control limiting trucks.

Commemorating the past. Celebrating the present.
Preserving the future.
One hundred years ago the commemoration events for Hudson, Fulton and Champlain
highlighted breakthrough technologies and celebrated the 20th century advances of
flight and electricity. Today, the Hudson River-Lake Champlain Corridor is a global
center for new technology, transportation and commerce.
The 1909 celebration was a catalyst for scenic, natural and historic preservation.
In the Hudson River Valley, Bear Mountain and Harriman State Parks were established.
The property that is now Crown Point State Historic Park on Lake Champlain was
conserved and Fort Ticonderoga was restored to its historic magnificence. Celebrations
also featured noble monuments and a re-examination of our regional heritage.
