The Hudson Valley is a region well known for its agricultural products, which are mostly moved and distributed by trucks. In New York State, 94% of freight transportation is powered by fossil fuels. The systems for food production, processing and distribution are heavily dis-aggregated. A proposal for an industrial working waterfront that will agglomerate two vital segments of the Hudson Valley’s agricultural operations: processing and distribution. This will become one of a series of hubs that integrates diverse and inter-modal operations, modeling the transition towards a less carbon-intensive transportation infrastructure for the Hudson Valley.
