Sleepy Hollow Road Walkway Project

 News and Information

(November 2020) The Land Acquisition process for the Sleepy Hollow Road Walkway Project began in October 2020. In the coming weeks, impacted property owners can expect to receive an offer letter from the County for the value of the landrights needed by the project. These letters will be sent in batches when the land records research and property valuation has been completed.  Property owners also can expect to be contacted by a member of the County’s Land Acquisition team following the receipt of the offer letter. The design concept for the project remains unchanged from the plan presented during the last community meeting in April 2019.

Please be advised that the County also has a project to upgrade the Holmes Run Pump Station at the intersection of Sleepy Hollow Road and Dearborn Drive. Please visit the project webpage for further information about this project.
