South Nyack Forum: How Can a New Tappan Bridge Be Green?

Rockland County is an active-living paradise. Only 12 miles north-west of New York City, it offers a host of spectacular destinations for residents and visitors alike. Outdoor attractions include Bear Mountain State Park, Esposito Trail, the Hudson River Water Trail, and a string of picturesque villages along the Hudson
River. It has become a destination spot for those who like to cycle, hike, antique, enjoy culinary delights, and small-town life.

The question is, how can Rockland’s business and civic community promote and enhance our region’s natural assets, while preserving our quality of life and creating another kind of $green$? The planning process for the Tappan Zee Bridge and I-287 corridor has helped to spur our communities to re-think the connection between transportation and economic development. Now is the time
to develop that conversation beyond the bridge, and to create a new, balanced approach to developing our green infrastructure. After brief presentations, a moderated discussion and an optional tour of the “lid” park site will follow.
