Engage MidHudson, the Mid-Hudson Sustainability Plan’s public outreach and engagement website launches.

Engage MidHudson is an online platform where citizens and government of the Mid-Hudson Region share knowledge and brainstorm project ideas and initiatives that will help build a more sustainable region. Engage MidHudson is being developed in support of the Mid-Hudson Regional Sustainability Planning Project, led by the Mid-Hudson Sustainability Planning Consortium. The Consortium is steering the development of the Mid-Hudson Regional Sustainability Plan as part of the Cleaner, Greener Communities Program announced by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo in his 2011 State of the State address.

The Program empowers regions to create more sustainable communities by funding smart development practices. The Consortium represents municipalities, counties, inter-municipal coalitions, and organizations from the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council’s seven counties. The Regional Sustainability Plan is intended to encourage a progressive approach for sustainable and economic development.

Engage MidHudson was built based on the belief that all Mid-Hudson communities are key partners in tackling challenges that affect our region. Active public engagement is critical to shaping a more sustainable future. Engage MidHudson is your opportunity to post innovative ideas and voice your opinions!
