Revitalizing Haverstraw in the Eyes of Bob Baird
June 22, 2006
There’s no overestimating the value of access to the Hudson River, and so there’s no way to put a price on the promenade being built in Haverstraw as part of builder Martin Ginsburg’s Harbors at Haverstraw development.
The promenade, which will run for 1.5 miles along the riverfront, will cost $14 million to build. Ginsburg will gradually line that part of the river with 850 units of mostly luxury housing.
Think of it like one of those credit card commercials.
New housing replacing mostly abandoned industrial sites: $400 million.
A 12-foot-wide walkway with benches, decorative lighting and historical markers: $14 million.
Public access to 1.5 miles of the Hudson River: Priceless.
Welcome to Haverstraw’s Future

I’ve dedicated this site to the advancement and revitalization of the Village of Haverstraw, a community at the widest point of the Hudson River in New York. This small city of 11,000 people on 2 square miles is set below a dramatic back-drop between the jagged edifice of High Tor Mountain and the expanse of Haverstraw Bay on the Hudson. The village is currently undergoing an almost billion dollar transformation, and 
is on the path to becoming one of the premier places to visit along the Hudson River. I hope you will use this site as a tool to explore and discover the historic Village of Haverstraw.
