Public Realm Vision Plan for the Waterfront

The City of Peekskill is a vibrant Historic Hudson River City located 40 miles north of
NYC and a one-hour train ride from Midtown and functions as the central city of
northern Westchester County. With diverse residents, a creative economy, rich history,
and scenic natural environment, the City of Peekskill offers a unique place to live and
work. Peekskill is an artistic hub and its waterfront and downtown districts are the core
of popular and growing destinations for Peekskill residents and visitors. Peekskill is a
compact 4.5 square mile City with 25,000 plus residents and a strong and proactive
community of governmental, social, cultural, business and service operations and
quality of life initiatives. With the exceptional views of the Hudson River, the waterfront
district lies within the Hudson Highlands Scenic Area of Statewide Significance.
