Dear Residents,
Thank you for your patience as we take the first steps together with the NY Forward grant.
New York State created a new website for us so that we can more efficiently and effectively inform the public on all new announcements and provide a single location for information and resources. Please visit the website below for information and updates pertaining to the Village of Kinderhook’s NY Forward grant and process.

There will be a workshop meeting open for the public to ask questions about projects on Wednesday, June 21, 2023, at 6 pm in Van Buren Hall. Residents will be able to ask questions regarding projects and applications.
If you have any questions whatsoever about a NYF project or application, please contact Ian Nicholson at KinderhookNYF@gmail.com. He will be able to answer any questions and help walk you through an application.
I am available anytime as well for questions that you may have. Please contact me at mayor@villageofkinderhook.org.
