Please join the Mid-Hudson Sustainability Planning Consortium for a presentation of the draft regional sustainability plan will be followed by a question/ answer session and open discussion.
The Mid-Hudson Regional Sustainability Plan looks to utilize the combined knowledge of stakeholders in the seven counties of the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council Region to create a plan that will lead to a more sustainable region. The Plan is one of ten such collaborative initiatives taking place around New York State as part of Phase One of Governor Cuomo's Cleaner, Greener Communities program. The draft Plan compiles regional trends related to land use, infrastructure, energy, transportation, and environmental practices and identifies project ideas that could significantly improve the economic and environmental health. The plan is expected to be finalized by the end of 2012.
The Program empowers regions to create more sustainable communities by funding smart development practices. Planning teams are partnering with public and private experts across a wide range of fields, along with community residents, to lead the development of regional sustainability plans and to implement the projects that will significantly improve the economic and environmental health of their areas. The plan will guide integrated, sustainable solutions—from statewide investments to regional decision-making on land use, housing, transportation, infrastructure, energy, and environmental practices—to improve our quality of life.
