  1. I congratulate all our Hudson colleagues on their grant awards! The Market NY Grant awarded to The Olana Partnership to market our major joint exhibition with The Thomas Cole Site is tied to promoting the Hudson River Skywalk Region as a national destination of which Hudson and Catskill are the community anchors. Based on 2017 data, Olana generates more than $9 million in economic impact for Hudson and surrounding communities and supports over 200 jobs. This 2020 grant will grow that and benefit both sides of the river.
