WHEREAS, the Mid-Hudson Regional Sustainability Plan (the “Plan”) purpose is to inform county and municipal sustainability and land use policies, serve as a basis for local government infrastructure decision making, guide infrastructure investment of both public and private resources, outline specific and tangible actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions consistent with New York State’s goal of 80% carbon
reduction below 1990 levels by the year 2050, and identify strategies for adapting to the effects of climate change; and

WHEREAS, these objectives are paired with implementation strategies to provide a common framework for the Region’s sustainable development and the Plan provides a common, uniting framework, each resident, municipality, and organization in the Region remains able to chart their own course toward achieving this vision, either individually or collectively; and

WHEREAS, the Plan provides a platform to address inter-municipal issues, such as water management, economic development, revitalization of aging and historic infrastructure, biodiversity conservation, environmental remediation, and other issues that transcend individual municipal or county borders; and

WHEREAS, the Plan facilitates sharing of resources that help local governments achieve economies of scale, saving money and potentially allowing for coordination of educational programs and technical assistance to localities within the Region that have similar assets and issues; and

WHEREAS, the Plan positions the Region for more funding opportunities, many of which require grantees to demonstrate regional-scale impacts; and

WHEREAS, the Plan enables networking so that individuals, organizations, and municipalities can share ideas and best practices that identify opportunities for collaboration; and

WHEREAS, the Plan assists in creating consistent regional definitions and data sets that can help identify larger-scale trends and targets for investment; and

reduce greenhouse gas emissions consistent with New York State’s goal of 80% carbon reduction below 1990 levels by the year 2050 and create jobs that, where possible, align with the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council’s goals.
