About the HVPC
The Hudson Valley Preservation Coalition (HVPC) is waging a campaign opposing the construction of the St. Lawrence Cement (SLC) plant in the City of Hudson and Town of Greenport in Columbia County, N.Y. We are collaborating with Friends of Hudson and The Olana Partnership in our opposition.

In 2001, HVPC was granted party status in the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation review of the plant proposal. We have retained legal and technical experts on the issues surrounding the plant, including air quality, scenic impacts, historic resources, regional economics, fish habitat, noise, traffic and blasting.
