ABOUT KNGG
MISSION STATEMENT Adopted July 22, 2002 Amended May 20, 2003 Amended April 19, 2004
Kinderhook Neighbors for Good Growth (KNGG)is dedicated to preserving the character, economy and quality of life of the Town of Kinderhook by assuring that land use and development proceed in a responsible manner that results in benefits for all residents of the Town. We believe in sound development planning that includes preservation of open spaces, protection of the natural environment and promotion of appropriate economic growth within the Town. As residents of Kinderhook, we seek to maintain an optimum balance of agricultural lands, economic infrastructure, low-density residential development, public recreation areas, historical architecture and villages. KNGG is concerned about the impact of sprawl type development that creates heavy traffic, safety and environmental problems, destroys natural beauty and diminishes the quality of life for everyone throughout the community. KNGG fulfills its purpose by helping to educate the community to weigh the consequences of poorly planned development and by presenting information and alternative approaches to support public officials in making sound decisions that guide the Town’s development.
