Elizabeth Campochiaro, Trails and Community Outreach Director, Hudson River Valley Greenway presented on the Hudson River Valley Greenway Grant program which provides funding to eligible communities to further a regional planning strategy consistent with the five Greenway criteria: regional planning, natural and cultural resource protection, economic development, public access, and heritage and environmental education. Elizabeth also provided an overview of the program and information for potential applicants.

Robert Leslie, Director of Planning for the Town of Bethlehem, shared how the municipality used Greenway Grant funding to update their municipal comprehensive plan including incorporating suggestions for protecting local ecosystems, waterways, and wetlands. Bethlehem undertook their planning efforts over two years in partnership between community members, business leaders, and town staff with support from professional consultants, which was supported by a Hudson River Valley Greenway Grant.
