Scenic Hudson may be a thorn in the side to some waterfront developers, but for towns and villages relying on tourism to bolster their economy, the nonprofit group has turned waterfront dumping grounds into economic jumpstarts up and down the Hudson River.

U.S. Rep. Nan Hayworth toured Scenic Hudson's Long Dock Beacon waterfront, which is scheduled to open in July, with its president, Ned Sullivan, June 10. They drove south to Cold Spring, where a pocket park was created near the train station, open for fishing, relaxing and kayaking, meeting up with Cold Spring mayor Seth Gallagher and Hudson Highland Trust Executive Director Andy Chmar.
