"Your hard work and dedication to the county is impressive. Thank you for taking on this leadership role in our community." Jeremy Giordano

Two generations of decentralized growth have drastically increased the Region’s urban land—by 60% in 30 years despite only a 13% increase in population while draining people and jobs out of the Region’s cities. This development pattern threatens both large areas of open land and critical environmental resources at the Region’s outer edge as well as the vitality of our cities and mature suburbs. - Regional Plan Association

"...the number one fiscal tool a municipality could implement to keep taxes down was to protect open space." - Robert McKeon, chair of the Red Hook Agriculture and Open Space Advisory Committee

PlanPutnam was created to serve the people of our region information regarding over development and sprawl.

With the ever increasing traffic and congestion, light, noise, water and air pollution that threatens us each day as the megalopolis south of us creeps ever northward, the people of Putnam County need a place they can go to learn how to push back - to stop the sprawl. If Putnam County is "where the country begins" maybe we ought to preserve some of that country.

"You should really think about doing a stand-up improv at Arts on the Lake some time. You have a unique way of making humor out of the some of the dumbest and crazy things happening both locally and globally." - Bill Volkmann

“The highlands of Putnam County need to be protected at all costs. If we do nothing, our children may never know the wonder of discovery. Yet, if we act with creativity, intelligence and care, we may offer our beloved hills to the future as we have come to know and love them. Anything less is a crime.” JmG
