Neighborhood Business Committee

The analysis, preservation and creation of local businesses within the Town of Putnam Valley, in the face of the pressures of population growth, increasing regulatory requirements and cost, declining business opportunity and occupancy with the resultant loss of local businesses and commercial options as well as rising taxes to Town residents affect the health, welfare and economic well-being of present and future inhabitants and require forthright action by the governing body of the Town of Putnam Valley. It is recognized that the economic well-being of our community which conditions the quality of our life experience cannot be protected without the full cooperation and participation of all the people of the Town of Putnam Valley working in partnership with local and state officials and with various public and private institutions, agencies, and organizations. Establishment of a committee to support and assist neighborhood businesses is a necessary step in fostering unified action on business and economic problems.
