The American Planning Association - New York Metropolitan Chapter (APA-NYM) Board proposes restructuring the Hudson Valley sections to better serve the planning community and foster regional collaboration. A step to achieve this goal is an amendment to the by-laws revisiting which counties are part of which section. This proposal comes after extensive consultation with Hudson Valley planners and careful consideration of regional planning needs. Ultimately, our conclusions are that a North / South section alignment better serves our community than an East / West section alignment.
 

The American Planning Association New York Metropolitan Chapter (APA-NYM) strongly supports the implementation of congestion pricing, which was delayed from going into effect on June 30th. This policy is the culmination of over a decade of collaborative efforts by hundreds of planners from various firms and city and state agencies.
