Friends of Kingston Waterfront coalition was formed in spring 2005 and is comprised of
Friends of Historic Kingston, Friends of Rondout, Hudson River Heritage, Hudson River Sloop
Clearwater, Riverkeeper, Scenic Hudson, Sierra Club and Sustainable Hudson Valley. FoKW has
focused on ensuring local participation in creating a Kingston waterfront that protects the Hudson River
Valley’s cherished history, culture, beauty and economic well-being. Its member organizations worked
to be sure that Kingston does not see its waterfront become a burden when the opportunity exists to
create powerful benefits for a diverse population. FoKW has created an informational website at
www.fikw.org
