The Mid-Hudson Regional Sustainability Plan sets out a vision for sustainable development that builds on our Region’s unique social, cultural, and natural history, with the goal of promoting economic development, environmental sustainability, and enhancing quality of life for the more than two million residents that call our Region home. By engaging hundreds of stakeholders from each of our Region’s seven counties in the development of the Plan, a series of objectives has been established that reflects our Region’s diverse landscapes, demographics, economy, culture, and history. These objectives and the corresponding strategies provide a common vision for our Region’s sustainable development, as well as a series of priority initiatives to help achieve the vision. While the Plan provides a common framework, each resident, municipality, and organization has the freedom and the responsibility to chart their own course toward achieving the Plan’s objectives, either individually or collectively.
