Commentary: In a game of apparent bait and switch, the Croton Board of Trustees approves 100 condominium units at Lot A.
Was there ever any doubt the developer would get exactly what it wanted?
THE CROTON CHRONICLE, MICHAEL BALTER
Last September 20, when Maria Slippen was in the middle of her campaign for a seat on the Croton-on-Hudson Board of Trustees, she posted a short video on the Croton Democrats Facebook page. A public hearing on the proposal by WBP Development LLC to build 100 condominium units at the Lot A site and a private parcel next to it had just taken place two days earlier.
Slippen told viewers that she was on her way out of Croton to go to work, but had stopped briefly in front of Lot A to video her comments, which she delivered from inside her car. Slippen expressed her approval and enthusiasm for the project and what she said it would do for the village, but also put forward a very clear opinion on how large it should be.
“I think that a hundred units is too many,” Slippen said, “but 60 is just right.” MORE AT (49) Commentary: In a game of apparent bait and switch, the Croton Board of Trustees approves 100 condominium units at Lot A.
Welcome to Cronkers...or is it the Cronx...or maybe Creekskill. I get confused. Boy are we happy we sold and got out last year.
ReplyDeleteI don't think the village claims about the school taxes they'd get is right???????
ReplyDeleteYes. School official Ana Teague has commented to the financial inaccuracy featured in the village's press release. Screen shots of her commentary from a fb page are currently circulating. Yes, it is after the fact. There are those, however, citizens, as well as a few r.e. agents, who are grateful that she essentially confirmed their numbers.
