Waterfront permits jump as developers look across the river

The Hudson Planning Board's permit log lists 14 waterfront applications from January to October this year, against 5 in the same months of 2025.¹ That is nine more than a year earlier, nearly three times the count.¹ The log counts each application once, whatever the number of parcels it covers.¹

Six of the 14 applications list an applicant mailing address in Greene County, on the west bank of the river.¹ The other eight list addresses in Columbia County or New York City.¹ Four of the 14 have been approved.¹
