Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.
Special Notice for our Cortlandt community: PORT CORTLANDT
Release Date: October 13, 2020
I am pleased to announce that the Town received today a withdrawal letter from AKRF with respect to their Port Cortlandt project. This project will not take place in our lovely Hamlet of Verplanck. We thank all of the many residents who participated in the process and made all other issues and concerns known to the Town Board and I over the many months. I will be setting up a committee to plan for the development of this special Town owned property. We will work to maintain the history and character of our Verplanck community. Thank you.

Town Supervisor

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the residents and families of Verplanck in this peaceful, historic and lovely hamlet for having the courage and the fortitude to stand up once again to a huge industrial project, AKRF’s PORT (Cortlandt) (200,000 sq. ft., 50 ft. high) that would have been extremely detrimental to their quality of life. Also, thank you to the surrounding area, their neighbors, who joined them in this fight (hamlet of Montrose, Village of Buchanan, etc.).
My philosophy of governing has always been to listen to the people not to the large developers, especially when their projects are in the wrong locations of our town.
I’m looking forward to working with our residents to plan together for our waterfront properties.

This is what happens when the rest of the community says no, makes it known that they intend to say no, and means no when they say no.
ReplyDeleteNO MEANS NO! THANK YOU SUPERVISOR PUGLISI FOR LISTENING TO THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE AND NOT PARTY HACKS!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Supervisor!
ReplyDeleteWe need to start the planned Riverfront development on this property as soon as possible, before another nightmarish scheme tries to gobble it up.
