Welcome

 
 
Welcome.

This is our extended Community Forum. On Thursday April 29th, a cross section of the New Paltz community had an exchange of ideas and suggestions about what kind of benefits (besides lower taxes) that we might enjoy from new development / business.

What are the categories / characteristics of new business that we would welcome as a community?

The results are pasted below. We ask that others in the community add their voices and votes to the results of the 4/29 session.
