The ballot measure for the City of Kingston’s Community Preservation Plan passed on Election Day by a vote of 6170 to 3715. The law creates a one and a quarter percent tax on property sales exceeding the county median sale price, currently $376,500, to help fund the purchase of land and conservation easements to protect water resources, preserve historic properties, develop trail systems, protect ecological resources, and other similar land conservation activities.
The plan is supported by funding from the DEC Hudson River estuary program.
