Finally, a size cap law New Scotland can live with! |
Your efforts and votes have made a difference. SLINGERLANDS, NEW YORK -- On Wednesday, Jan. 27, 2010, at 6:30 P.M., the Town of New Scotland town board will take up a commercial zone size cap law with limits that ensure responsible growth for the community. It's called Local Law B of 2010, and it's on the agenda for this special meeting. The Law sets responsible growth limits in the Commercial Zone with a 50,000 sq. ft. retail store size limit for development without requiring town board approval.
What happens next? After the Planning Board offers its recommendations regarding the proposed law to the town board, they will set the date for a public hearing. We will let you know so you can mark it in your calendars, come out and attend, and bring your neighbors and friends.
In this more than 2 year process, we are getting closer to our goal: sound economic development. But we have not yet arrived. We still need all of you to come out and express your opinions at that public hearing. Remember the momentum for the moratorium? We will need that kind of strength in numbers again at the public hearing. In order to remind residents of this most important date, NS4SED will continue to operate its web site, send out email blasts, place perhaps 1 or 2 banners in strategic, highly visible spots around the Town, and continue to work toward our goal. In order to defray expenses, anyone who would like to make a donation or $25 or whatever amount you feel comfortable giving, please use PayPal at http://www.ns4sed.com/. (Look under Ways to Help.) Or you may send checks to New Scotlanders for Sound Economic Development at PO Box 163, Voorheesville, NY 12186. |
