LOHUD---ABOUT THAT MASSIVE MONTROSE FIRE

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

As many of you know, the Town of Cortlandt has expressed an interest in building "transit oriented development housing" at their train station. And yesterday, this massive fire at the asphalt/concrete plant happened adjacent to it. We are fortunate (local homeowners, businesses and nearby Roundtop) that there was none of the winds that have plagued Los Angeles. A lesson perhaps Croton's Lot A?

There will be more.
