Preface The Town of Chester has long recognized that community planning is an ongoing process. In 2015, the Town Board adopted a Comprehensive Plan, which was an update of its 2003 Comprehensive Plan. The 2015 Comprehensive Plan recommended additional actions, plans and detailed studies to pursue the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan. Among these were additional measures to protect natural resources, agricultural resources and open space. In September 2017, the Town Board appointed a Community Preservation Plan Committee (CPPC) to guide undertake the creation of the Town’s first Community Preservation Plan. This Community Preservation Plan is not a new departure - rather it incorporates and builds upon the recommendations of the Town’s adopted 2015 Comprehensive Plan and its existing land use regulations. i Acknowledgements The 2017 Community Preservation Plan (CPP) Steering Committee acknowledges the extraordinary work of the 2015 Comprehensive Plan Committee in creating the Town’s 2015 Comprehensive Plan.

    2. Community Profile 2.1 Town Location The Town of Warwick is located about fifty miles northwest of New York City in the middle to southern part of Orange County, nearly to the New Jersey border. The Town encompasses approximately 116 square miles and is the largest Town in Orange County, and among the largest in New York State. The Towns of Minisink, Goshen, Chester, Monroe, and Tuxedo encircle the north, east, and west borders of the Town, while the New Jersey Counties of Sussex and Passaic are along the southern boundary. New York State Route 17&6 provides easy east-west access from New York Thruway at the Town of Harriman. Route 17 winds itself up past Sullivan County and Route 13 travel south to it meets Route 94 and passes into New Jersey. The New York State Thruway allows easy access to and from Albany and New York City. 2.2 Town History The Town of Warwick, as much of the Hudson Valley region, has a long and eventful history. The following historical narrative is taken from a Town history on the Warwick website. From the earliest colonial times, the land that came to be the Town of Warwick housed a well- traveled route. The King’s Highway came up the valley from Pennsylvania and New Jersey and led northeastward to the settlements along the Hudson River and further to New England. Two rail lines, the Warwick Valley Railroad (1860) and the Lehigh and Hudson River Railway, came to eventually follow the same general route. Offices and merchants in the village of Warwick encouraged the growth of that community as a business center, while Wisner and Lake were established as station stops on the railroad.
