Abstract

Rondout Riverport 2040 proposes a pragmatic, positive, and prosperous vision for the near future in which the communities of Kingston and Esopus, New York, are enriched by a transformed port, boasting a shoreline brimming with heritage and leading-edge maritime commerce and working waterfront technologies that profit and engage individuals, businesses and communities, allowing for an equitable transition beyond fossil fuels, where all work as together to forge a vital and vibrant economic bond with the greater Hudson Valley Bioregion.
