Town of Saugerties officials will host the FIRST public hearing on Winston Farm on Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2022 at 6 p.m.
The meeting, at the Frank D. Greco Memorial Senior Center, located at 207 Market St., Saugerties, may set further discussion about the project moving forward, so it's CRITICAL supporters show up.
Ulster Strong encourages attendance at this meeting to show support for continuing the statutory review process of this proposed project.
The public hearing enables the community to suggest considerations for inclusion in the public scoping. This will help define which studies are required to ensure the project is sensitive to the environment. Factors, such as economic impact, housing, job creation and new opportunities for local businesses, will help shape the project.
WINSTON FARM PROJECT BENEFITS INCLUDE
Housing
Hundreds of jobs (both during construction and ongoing)
Additional tax revenue for town, schools and county
New tourism and economic opportunities
Preservation of a substantial portion of the Winston Farm property
Opponents of this development plan to descend on the meeting to try to stop further review of the proposal.
Let's help local representatives know that anti-development voices are not the only ones in Ulster County, and that the proposal must be given due consideration based on its numerous merits, not misinformation.
