IN NEWS: CROTON'S DEBT, THE KATZ PROPERTY, CROTON POINT AVENUE PROJECT, & GOUVEIA

Welcome to Everything Croton--a collection of all things Croton, our history, our homes, our issues, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

CROTON POINT AVENUE PROJECT MAY GET GREEN LIGHT--click on the photo---residents are encouraged to read the very lengthy and thorough Gazette article on this ever escalating-in-cost debacle. The Gazette is on sale just about everywhere.

Also related to the Croton Point Avenue project with the still-empty and deteriorating building at the Gouveia "Park", is an important letter from Bob Anderson--Shiny Object Syndrome--to read it, click here


As for the Katz property re-zoning, you are encouraged to watch the work session of  January 13th on demand at the village website.  Now under discussion (surprise), is the possibility of any building at the site being 100% RESIDENTIAL as opposed to mixed use.  Rumors remain unconfirmed that any building at the site will be "100% affordable".  Residents must address these questions and comments directly to the board.

AND IN CASE YOU MISSED IT, a letter from a recent Gazette and Steven Saporito on the re-zoning/Katz issue: WE NEED TO SAY NO TO THIS PROPOSAL; CLICK HERE

  1. DONT FORGET HOW FOLKS IN THE TOWN OF CORTLANDT FEEL ABOUT ALL THIS DEVELOPMENT STUFF! FOR THOSE FOLLOWING TOWN OF CORTLANDT MASSIVE RENTAL DEVELOPMENT PUSHBACK: DEVELOPERS SAY THE TOWN HAD A VISION, WE ESSENTIALLY STEPPED UP, PART THREE
    THE EXAMINER NEWS, Rick Pezzulo: Excerpts only. As always, read the ENTIRE aticle at the link below.

    The developers of two mixed-use projects in the area of New York Presbyterian/Hudson Valley Hospital on Route 202 in Cortlandt maintain their plans are consistent with the town’s vision as outlined in the most recent Master Plan.

    Speaking exclusively to The Northern Westchester Examiner a week before what could be a contentious public hearing this week as signs opposing the projects have surfaced along major roadways in town, two of the key players for the Evergreen Manor and Gyrodyne developments are confident they will significantly improve existing traffic conditions, provide services and facilities that are in demand and bring much needed tax revenue to the community.........“This is the town’s initiative. That gets lost in the whole picture here,” stressed Kevin McAndrew, partner at Cameron Engineering, which is one of the firms connected to the 13.8-acre Gyrodyne site. “Evergreen and Gyrodyne stepped up as the key stakeholders. The town had a vision.”.....“The market demand is there—there are no rentals in Cortlandt,” said Santucci, who noted the new housing could be attractive to many of the hospital employees.
