Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Greene County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Agricultural District 124 Inclusion Requests
The county is adopting the state's Short Environmental Assessment Form for changes to agricultural districts, making SEQRA review faster and less duplicative. The legislature will serve as lead agency under a cooperative agreement with the state.
Kaaterskill Clove Visitor Management Dispute
The county formally objected to the state DEC's plan that could bring reservation systems, timed entry, or visitor caps to the Kaaterskill Clove area in Hunter. Local officials argue those limits would hurt tourism towns and just push crowds elsewhere; they want more parking, traffic management and staffing first.
