The Village of Ellenville is located in a scenic valley between the Catskill mountains and the Shawangunk Ridge in southern Ulster County. This location provides village residents and visitors with easy access to world class recreational opportunities in Catskill State Park, Minnewaska State Park Preserve, and the Mohonk Preserve. Despite these local assets, Ellenville is a highly distressed community that is struggling with issues such as with low wages, commercial vacancy, and opioid addiction. Village leadership is currently exploring ways to capitalize on the village s advantageous position in the region to jumpstart the local economy and combat these systemic issues.Pattern is seeking funding for a strategic planning and feasibility study to support Ellenville s revitalization efforts with a focus on harnessing tourism as an economic engine for the village and central business district and identifying innovative strategies for filling vacant and underutilized commercial space. Pattern will incorporate new and existing ideas, programs, and initiatives into one systematic strategic plan for revitalization within this framework
