Town of Newburgh Seeks Feedback to Improve Downtown Parking

The Town of Newburgh is looking to make some improvements, and they are asking for feedback from the community before they start.

Historic Downtown Newburgh Has a Lot to Offer

If you have ever visited downtown Newburgh, you know how beautiful and vibrant it is. There are a number of small, local businesses that call Newburgh home, from boutiques, antique shops, and salons to restaurants, coffee shops, and even ice cream.

Historic downtown Newburgh is a fantastic spot to visit to shop and eat, but it's also a great place to enjoy a walk or run along the Ohio River, or just take in the views from one of the many benches along the walking path.

Why Your Feedback Matters to the Future of Newburgh

According to a press release from the town,

The parking study will assess on-street and off-street parking availability, usage patterns, signage, and accessibility throughout key areas of the Town of Newburgh, including the historic downtown district. The goal is to ensure that parking is safe, efficient, and supportive of Newburgh’s growth and charm.

Town Council President Stacie Krieger says local officials want to hear from the people who "live, work, and spend time in Newburgh." She says feedback from the public is important so they can determine what's working well with the current parking system, and where there is room for improvement.

Two Ways to Share Your Thoughts With Town Officials

The survey is very brief and can be completed quickly online. This is an opportunity to share your experiences and concerns, as well as any suggestions you may have. The survey can be found on the town’s official website.

There is also an in-person pop-up booth planned in downtown Newburgh on May 14th and 15th, giving residents the opportunity to learn more about the study, as well as speak directly with planning staff, ask questions, and provide input. Additional information is available on the town's Facebook page.
