The New York Daily news recently featured an article about Kingston NY and dubbed it as 'High tech on the Hudson'. The article depicts Kingston as a digital hub of activity in the Hudson Valley and as an attractive area for urbanites from Brooklyn and Manhattan in technology and artistic fields. Many artists, graphic designers, coders, media producers, web designers and internet marketers have set up shop in Kingston. A great organization called the Kingston Digital Corridor has taken root in Kingston to promote and organize around all things tech. Techies feel right at home mingling and meeting with other digital professionals, entrepreneurs and Kingston NY internet marketers. This digital movement has been facilitated by developers who have renovated former industrial and commercial buildings in the Rondout, Uptown and Midtown sections of Kingston. Shared work spaces and incubators found in these renovated buildings are popular and allow entrepreneurs and creative professionals to mingle, exchange ideas and collaborate. Many are hoping that this digital revolution will lead to a resurgence in the Kingston real estate market. There's no doubt that there is a strong population of second homeowners in Kingston and the surrounding towns like Woodstock and Saugerties. By promoting Kingston as a digital center of excellence and activity, the hope is to attract skilled professionals that can live in the area full time, gentrify the area and contribute greatly to the community. We wholeheartedly support this great endeavor and can ably assist anyone who is looking to relocate or find a home in Kingston to join the movement. |
