Keep Cochecton Rural - PO BOX 123, Cochecton, NY  12726

We are Cochecton residents who are concerned about the increasing pressure for rapid growth and suburbanization of our township. We welcome responsible development that respects the rural character of our communities and preserves the quality of our landscape. We oppose suburban-style development that deforms our environment, strains local services, undermines our property values, and threatens us all with increased taxes. If you care about these things, please join us. Together, we can prevail!
