ongratulations and welcome to our beautiful Hudson Valley community!
Putnam, as our motto attests, is, “Where the Country Begins,” but it certainly doesn’t end there.
We’re proud of our top-rated school districts, terrific public libraries and a sound, fiscally responsible county government. Ranked lowest in unemployment in the Hudson Valley, Putnam is the safest and one of the healthiest counties in New York State. We also boast historic and recreational attractions, including the new Tilly Foster Educational Institute, Boscobel House and Gardens, Fahnestock State Park, Thunder Ridge Ski Area, numerous Rail-to-Trail pathways and bikeways, and an abundance of streams, ponds, lakes,
and reservoirs.
As a business community, Putnam County has declared 2016 the “Year of Business Development,” which has
kicked off multiple county-wide infrastructure enhancements, to sustain and attract new businesses to our area. We also have an active and robust Putnam County Chamber of Commerce, which works closely with our Economic Development Corporation in promoting and supporting long-term business growth.
To assist in getting you acclimated to the “neighborhood,” download our app, Putnam County Cares, and visit the county website at www.putnamcountyny.com, where the latest news on our seniors, veterans, and various departments and organizations are updated regularly.
