Where Lifestyle Meets Opportunity

Sullivan County offers a rare combination: rural character, modern connectivity, and access to one of the world’s most important business and cultural markets.

Located just 90 miles from New York City, the Sullivan Catskills give residents and businesses room to grow — without losing connection to the larger regional economy.

The Best of Both Worlds

Sullivan County offers a relaxed, scenic lifestyle with access to major markets, regional employers, and growing business opportunities.

Recent investment in broadband, infrastructure, and community development has made the county increasingly attractive to remote workers, entrepreneurs, employers, and families looking for more space and a stronger quality of life.
