Today, Hudson Valley Outdoor is the largest independent, family-owned billboard company in the region, offering more than 385 locations across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Our focus is New York’s Mid-Hudson Valley, where we’ve been based for 105 years.
Originally founded in 1921 as Highway Displays, Inc., the Poughkeepsie-based firm specialized in hand painting advertisements for other local businesses. Over the years, as both technology and the business landscape of the Hudson Valley have changed, generations of family members have proudly made their mark on the changing company.
Now being led by it’s fourth generation, cousins Evan Hartman and Michael Schwartz, and newly based in Hyde Park, New York, Hudson Valley Outdoor looks to continue to serve its many customers and continue it’s growth throughout the Northeast in 2026 and beyond.
