Dear Residents & Community Members:
Thank you to those who have reached out to the town over the past several weeks with your thoughts and inquiries regarding the proposed Orange County Dinosaur Park. Your passion for our community was further evident by the tremendous turnout at the Public Information Session. As you are most likely aware, the town released the following statement regarding this proposed project on April 27, 2022.
"Town of Monroe and Orange County officials have been informed by Neil Gold, the developer of the proposed Orange County Dinosaur Park, that he will no longer pursue this project at the town owned site located at SBL 31-1-7.11 on Orange Turnpike. During the company’s due diligence period provided for under the lease, they determined that the environmental constraints on the property would not allow them to build the full project that they desire to build. Therefore, the previously executed lease agreement is terminated and no further action is anticipated at this time concerning the proposed project. The Monroe Town Board extends its best wishes to Mr. Gold in his future business ventures."
As we move forward and on to other focus areas, let us all be reminded that agree or disagree, we are entitled to expressing our opinions in a respectful, thoughtful manner. The Supervisor's Office is always available for your questions and concerns, as is the Town Board. Please continue to remain informed on all town issues through reliable sources, by attending meetings, viewing recorded meetings via Channel 22 or through our website, asking questions, and getting involved.
You, our valued residents and community members, collectively continue to make our community a special one. We appreciate your continued support and dedication to our town.
Cordially,
Tony Cardone
Supervisor, Town of Monroe
