5. Scenic Hudson’s Enduring Principles:
Outstanding quality of life is achievable only when a clean, healthy environment is a
key component of economic development.
All citizens have a right to outstanding quality of life, including access to our
Hudson River, to open space and to participate in community decision-making.
Our natural environment is an irreplaceable source of spiritual and artistic vitality
and must be preserved forever.
