Historic Hudson Valley - Joseph Cotter named HHV's Hudson Valley Hero

Joseph Cotter named HHV's Hudson Valley Hero

Each year, Historic Hudson Valley honors individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the preservation and conservation of the Hudson Valley. Tonight, at a gala event at Washington Irving's Sunnyside, the organization is bestowing its Hudson Valley Hero award on Joseph Cotter, President of National RE/sources, which was established in 1996 as the first institutionally funded Brownfields developer. HHV is saluting Mr. Cotter and NRE for working closely with civic organizations along the Hudson, where it owns more than one-and-a-half miles of shoreline, making it the largest private owner of riverfront land.

Under Mr. Cotter's leadership, NRE has transformed outmoded industrial sites to vibrant use, employing "green" practices that respect both the environment and the character of Hudson River communities. The company has earned Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for environmental stewardship, including the use of sustainable materials and siting near public transportation.

Congrats to Mr. Cotter and the entire team at NRE!
