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
"I love its geologic, ice-age configuration. We’re in a basin carved out by the last great glaciers, which have left us with a multitude of creeks, forests, and wetlands. I also love the Community Center!"
- Judith Karpova, Kerhonkson Resident

“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. ”
Accord Resident“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.”
