What we’ve heard from you, our Town of Rochester residents:

"I feel very positive about the efforts the town is making to find a balance between development and the environment. Any problems that exist are more around the margins than major issues."

- Marge Bonner, Kerhonkson resident for over 50 years

Upper Cherrytown Road

“I love the history that is tied to Rochester - Stone houses, O&W Rail Trail, D&H Canal, agricultural landscapes - I love looking to the mountains that surround us in the fishbowl we live in. ”

“We need more developed recreational spaces for our community.”

Kerhonkson Resident

“It’s very difficult to balance growth and environmental issues. Everything must be carefully considered.”
