Vision Statement - Newburgh 2040

"Newburgh, Queen City of the Hudson River Valley, offers spectacular views, historic architecture, and a vibrant cultural blend. We share a vision of justice and prosperity for all; the beauty, health and vitality of our people; and our own distinctive place in the world."

"Established by immigrants seeking liberty and opportunity, the city is a natural transportation hub — the river, rails, highways and airport continue to shape our economy and our lives. Built on accomplishments of the past 300 years, Newburgh will foster the achievements of many future generations."

"Our city continues to renew itself as a clean, safe and caring city, where community thrives and individuals flourish. A respected environment, an enterprising spirit, and the diversity of our citizens will shape our future. Newburgh and its people will be known for creativity, compassion, prosperity and peace."
