The Town of Poestenkill is a vital and prosperous community that is rural by choice. Future progress requires that the Town wisely protect and preserve its rich rural heritage and assets: traditional small-town character, open space and scenic beauty, natural resources, diverse citizenry, and strong community schools.  In the decades ahead, the Town will enjoy a stable and varied local economy and remain a desirable place to live, raise a family, work, and retire. Poestenkill's lively hamlet - the center of community life - will be sustained, offering a growing mix of small locally-owned businesses, stores, professional services, and community facilities. The Town will encourage residents to buy homes, improve their housing, and create suitable housing for seniors. The Town will endeavor to provide the infrastructure necessary to protect water quality and support existing commercial enterprises.

The Town of Poestenkill will accommodate carefully planned new residential development, commercial enterprises, and public infrastructure which fit harmoniously into the Town fabric, are compatible with established neighborhoods, and are designed in a manner that conserves its important natural resources, waterways, and aquifer, agricultural lands and family farms.

“Get Involved: Opportunities to make your opinion heard.”

The committee for the Town of Poestenkill has started working on finalizing the 2022 draft plan. Residents input is very VALUABLE to completing this final draft. There are opportunities for the residents to voice your opinions and give input as to what they would like to see for the future in the Town of Poestenkill. We have 4 “Public Visioning Open House Workshops” set up where residents can come and see each station and place notes with their opinions. The committee holds meetings at the Poestenkill Town Hall from 7PM - 9PM where residents are INVITED to attend and express their opinions for the future of the Town. Below is the schedule of the meetings and the “Public Visioning Open House Workshops.” see schedule and location below.
