Community Preservation Act | Ulster County & Town of Chester

The creation of Community Preservation Funds can provide for the safeguarding of historic buildings and landscapes. This modest real estate tax (paid by buyers), helps to further preservation goals and protect important sites that communities treasure.

The Preservation League prepared a letter to Governor Cuomo expressing support for this legislation (The Ulster County Community Preservation Act A0129/S6235 & Town of Chester Community Preservation Act A7592/S5640) and requesting it be signed into law.
