WE KEEP MAKING THINGS HAPPEN
We want to preserve the rural nature of Gardiner for future generations by protecting farms and open space with fair and equitable zoning and the judicious use of land preservation strategies.
We want to continue to improve the hamlet by using grants (not tax $) to build sidewalks, cross-walks, and parking, and by improving recreational access to the Wallkill and the Rail Trail.
We want to continue to support the building of a new library. After many years of planning, the new Library will open this Fall.
We want to continue improving control of the Town’s finances by updating current reports and by expanding the role of the Citizens' Fiscal Committee.
We want to increase the number of citizens who participate in the management of the Town and insure a balance of all points of view.
We want to lower the tax burden on homeowners by continuing to attract new businesses that are in keeping with the Town's character and by fighting for Property Tax Reform.
