Program activities were reviewed by our Stakeholder Council at November 2019 and April 2020 meetings and their comments are reflected in this 2021-2023 work plan. The Action Plan is divided into key programmatic areas: A. Protecting and Enhancing Stream Stability and Water Quality B. Floodplain Management and Planning C. Highway Infrastructure Management in Conjunction with Streams D. Assisting Streamside Landowners (public and private) E. Protecting and Enhancing Aquatic and Riparian Habitat and Ecosystems F. Enhancing Public Access to Streams The Action Plan is updated annually. This proposed plan will run from June 1, 2021 until May 31, 2023, at which time the recommendations will be revised based on new stream assessments and program needs.

• CAMMER ROAD, WINDHAM, NY • CONTENTS 4 DEVELOP WINDHAM INTRO 5 SHOVEL-READY 8 SITE PLAN 13 THE TOWNHOUSES & TYPES 21 WHY WINDHAM? 33 LISTING AGENTS - INQUIRE BUILDERS & INVESTORS DEVELOP WINDHAM Windham, NY sits in the heart of the Catskill Mountains - its name is synonymous with outdoor adventure. Just two hours from New York City, Windham offers the second home owners who make spending their weekends here part of their routine; not just an escape from their weekday lifestyle, but an entirely different life! In Windham there’s a feeling of wild possibility, an energy that pervades the charming village and reaches out into the mountains that surround it. It’s a place that draws buyers from New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, and it’s also a place lacking enough middle-market housing inventory to meet demand. 1 Cammer Road in Windham offers investors and builders a chance to answer that demand. With up-to-date plans and approvals in place for a 10 home development this 5.72 acre parcel is an opportunity tailored to the moment. 4 SHOVEL-READY 1 Cammer Road, Windham offers a unique investment opportunity. The current landholders spent years planning and gaining the approvals to develop this 5.72 acre parcel that’s perfectly located just outside the Village of Windham. Sited with a shared lot line with Windham Country Club and surrounded by gorgeous views of the Catskill Mountains including Windham Mountain, home of Ski Windham, it’s at the epicenter of Upstate adventure. Seize the moment, and take advantage of this rare chance to skip years of tedious legwork it takes to prepare for groundbreaking and build in an immensely popular location and unprecedented market.

Geography & Geology The human geography and the geology of the Catskill Mountains are among the things that make the region unique within New York State. Geography and geology allow us to compare our place in the world with all others, and teach people about the nature of their world and their place in it. Translated, geography means a description of the Earth (geo means Earth, and graphia means description). Geology, similarly, is the study of the Earth (again, geo means Earth, and ology is the study of). The relationship between geography and geology is an easy one
