FROM THAT NEW "CROTON NEWS" SITE---VILLAGE OVERRULED ON CANNABIS DISPENSARY PROXIMITY; TRAIN STATION PARKING RATES TO RISE

Once again, please do your due diligence. The site is AI driven:

A long-running dispute over a proposed cannabis dispensary at 370 South Riverside Avenue came to a head this week, as the Village of Croton-on-Hudson revealed it had spent months trying to block the business—only to be overruled by the state.

At a work session on April 15, Village Manager Bryan Healy provided a detailed timeline of the village’s interactions with the applicant, Vincent Silvestri, showing that local officials actively protested the location due to its proximity to a day care center. Despite those efforts, the state Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) reaffirmed its approval in November 2025, and the Planning Board formally approved the change of use on April 14.
