This plan is a Strategic Economic Development Action Plan (SEDAP) for the Hamlet of Wallkill (the hamlet). The purpose of this plan is to provide a series of actionable recommendations to improve quality of life and strengthen the local economy in the hamlet. The goals and recommendations in this plan are rooted in community input, analysis of local metrics, and a clear vision for the hamlet established and adopted in the 2021 Town of Shawangunk Comprehensive Plan Update.

This plan was designed with the express intent of being a functional resource, not just a list of aspirational ideas. To that end, this plan includes an implementation strategy to facilitate the completion of the recommended actions.
This plan was prepared by Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress (Pattern) in collaboration with the Town of Shawangunk and guidance from a steering committee of local residents and stakeholders.

This work was funded by a Strategic Planning and Feasibility grant from Empire State Development secured by Pattern through the New York State Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) process in 2023. Work commenced on this plan in early 2024 and concluded in December 2024.
