Community Vitality Study
Strong communities are essential to a healthy watershed. The Community Vitality Study explores the challenges and opportunities facing the Catskill Watershed, examining housing affordability, economic opportunity, demographic trends, infrastructure, and the factors that influence whether communities can remain vibrant places to live year-round.
Commissioned by the Catskill Watershed Corporation, the study provides valuable research and recommendations to help guide future investments, strengthen local communities, and support long-term sustainability throughout the West-of-Hudson NYC Watershed.
