The Westchester and Mid-Hudson Region of the American Institute of Architects invite you to a lively panel discussion on where four Hudson River cities have been, where they are today, and where they are going. The panel will feature Natalie Quinn, Planning Director for the City of Poughkeepsie, John Clarke, Beacon Planning Consultant, Alexandra Church, Director of Planning and Development for the City of Newburgh and Mark Porterfield, AIA, CCCA, LEED AP, Project Manager, Secretary for the City of Peekskill Planning Commission

Our discussion will focus on current planning initiatives in Poughkeepsie, Beacon and Newburgh, and how these experts see their own cities moving forward in today's dynamic environment. As all of these river cities are undergoing urban rebirths, we look forward to hearing the planners' perspectives on how their cities will meet the challenges of the present and future.
