The Town of Rosendale has the opportunity to purchase Joppenbergh Mountain and preserve it as open space for public use.

Because the Town currently leases the municipal parking lot from the current property's owners, the purchase would save the Town thousands of dollars each year.  We also believe that access to the mountain would increase tourism, and even be used to connect a path from the village to the upcoming Rail Trail extension.

Preserving Joppenbergh Mountain makes sense for economic and environmental reasons.
