What You Can Do

Choose to shop, dine and buy in Greene County. People come from far and wide to enjoy the natural beauty of the Great Northern Catskills. Shouldn’t you do the same?

Some suggestions:

• Remember gas and tolls are a cost. It may be cheaper to skip the drive to the mall and buy locally.
• Coffee here is just as good as coffee on the Interstate, and you’ll be more awake for the drive.

li>Dine out more often. Fast food is convenient, but it’s not a healthy option.

• If you enjoy a great local business, let your friends and neighbors know about it.
