Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress

Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress is a nonprofit organization that provides objective research, planning, and educational training throughout the region. Its work identifies civic challenges and promotes regional, equitable, and sustainable solutions to constantly improve the quality of life in Hudson Valley communities. Pattern develops its work upon a considerable foundation of facts and experience, without political aims or affiliations.

Building Consensus Through Collaboration

When business and academic leaders founded Pattern in 1965, their goal was to build consensus for a pattern of growth that will ensure a high quality of life for the nine county Mid-Hudson Valley Region. The work plan included the protection of the natural environment, taking from it only those resources needed to promote economic prosperity, and providing adequate opportunities and incentives for capital formation and meaningful, gainful employment.
