As many of you know, the village is holding an "Affordable Housing" (a.k.a. Low income) community "discussion" on June 13th. The "facilitators" from Pace University Land Use (who will "moderate the discussion") are also being paid $1,500 (the board voted on the resolution for payment not long ago). Residents with concerns should attend the meeting. More info here: http://www.crotononhudson-ny.gov/Public_Documents/CrotonHudsonNY_Board/060E5D59-000F8513
