Today, Port Henry looks to its industrial past with pride. Waterfront development activities, historic preservation efforts, and a new business park are bringing activity to its magnificent shoreline. A public-private partnership comprised of County, Town and Village Governments, the Empire Zone, the Chamber of Commerce, and the business community has been actively promoting Port Henry and working to improve public spaces for residents and visitors alike.
