Sheldon To Speak, County to Meet On Giant Greenport Shopping Center

Financial consultant and columnist James Sheldon of LittleTownViews will be speaking on Saturday, December 16, at 10:00 am in Greenport about the likely impacts on our taxes and locally owned businesses of the proposed 560,000-square-foot Widewaters shopping center, which appears to be on a fast track for approval by the Greenport Town Planning Board. The talk will take place at the Hudson Movieplex at 350 Fairview Avenue in Greenport (the strip mall where Staples is located). Contact Nina Sklansky of Greenport Neighbors Association for further information at gptnbrs@mhcable.com.

There will also be a special meeting on the Widewaters project held by the Columbia County Planning Board on Wednesday, December 13 at 6:00 pm. Widewaters representatives will be present at this meeting, and the public is invited to express concerns and ask questions of the developer and the board. A strong showing of citizens would send a clear message to county and town officials that the public interest in this huge development merits a more thorough review than what we have seen so far. The board will meet at 401 State Street in Hudson on the 3rd Floor. Call the county planning office at 518-828-3375.
