**Area Ranks #27 on Sperling’s Emerging Metropolitan Areas**

Saugerties is part of an emerging metropolitan area that is conveniently located off of Interstate 87, halfway between New York City and Albany. The Thomas E. Dewey Thruway (Interstate 87), a 641-mile highway crossing New York State, carries an average of more than 50,000 vehicles per day in this area, and can be accessed via Exit 20 within just a few minutes drive. United States Route 9W, where Twin Maples Plaza is situated, is the primary route connecting the town to the city of Kingston that carries an average of 10,049 vehicles per day. Certainly many of these thousands of commuters are going to notice your grand opening, and you don’t want to miss another day of this traffic!

Saugerties, with major highways and cities readily accessible nearby, has caught the eye of both residential and commercial developers in recent years. A relatively large scale hotel, restaurant, and conference center project is nearing completion on Partition Street, just north of 9W. Local and regional banks, a discount store, a pharmacy, a stone supplier, restaurants, fitness center, music store, Tae Kwon Do studio, and many more have seen the financial opportunity here as well, and many more are sure to follow in the months and years to come.

Newer residential developments, both located on Route 9W, include Birches at Saugerties, a 60-unit complex intended to provide senior citizens with low-maintenance, affordable homes, and the Commons, a popular 72-unit condominium project situated on 11.1 acres. The residential population throughout Saugerties is sufficient enough to back up any new quality retail or service option that chooses to open its doors in this great community. The Twin Maple Townhouse Subdivision is located just behind the shopping center, with residents sharing a right-of-way with the plaza and ensuring added exposure of your business.

Hunter Mountain Ski is the New York Metropolitan area’s the closest ski resort, and only 20 minutes away from Saugerties’ Route 9W. The resort area offers “four seasons of fun,” with incredible skiing in winter, lodging, dining, and a luxury spa all year long, and music and food festivals, Zipline Adventure Tours, hiking, and fly fishing school throughout the warmer months.

The Catskill Forest Preserve includes 300,000 magnificent acres within Ulster, Green, Delaware, and Sullivan counties, and is part of the even larger Catskill Park. The park includes 98 high peaks, and contributes to the Saugerties tourism and recreational industry. The preserve features waterfalls, hiking trails, outdoor activities, parks, and historical sites. There are also nine golf courses within the Catskills.

Just a few miles northwest is one of the most extraordinary sculptures ever created by a single person, Opus 40 on Fite Road. This sprawling six-acre sculpture is the product of 37 years of Harvey Fite’s life, which he created with just his hands and traditional quarryman’s tools. Fite’s mediums were fitted stone, terraces, trees, fountains, and pools, all formed out of the rock bed of an abandoned bluestone quarry, and is now open to the public, along with Fite’s Quarryman’s Museum, created to showcase the tools and artifacts related to the the area’s historical trades.
