Promises Made But Not Kept By Environmental Activist Groups

-

(first published August 2020) In the middle of a depression, it is sad to see some folks still all too eager to deny others getting decent jobs. Anti jobs, anti local community, anti essential services (whose jobs are significantly paid with tax revenue from local businesses). And should the coalition of Catskill Mountainkeeper, Woodstock Land Conservancy, and Open Space Institute prevail in stopping the planned 850 Route 28 project, they will 'gleefully' 'own' their reputation as job-and-revenue killers, and be even more emboldened to continue their business-hostile campaign unabated.   These groups have promised that 'only-a-green-passive-recreation' approach to business in the 4 county Catskill region is 'permissible' in their view. But they haven't produced nearly the jobs promised over the last 10 years - a meager 2,000 PART TIME/SEASONAL, and some full time, jobs in the Catskills exist that are remotely related to recreation/hospitality, as per...

Take a look at the current site where 850 Route 28 plans to build: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmmLIXhPCNM The 850 Route 28 proposed project will create pre-cast concrete infrastructure for use in local aging roads and bridges. It will be situated within a formerly abandoned open rock quarry in the Town of Kingston. The existing forest cover and surrounding hills will conceal the site from view on Route 28 and adjacent properties. It will create many new opportunities for local residents and surrounding areas, add significant new local tax revenue, and remediate an unproductive mine with watershed and other improvements. The development will use innovative 'green' materials and techniques in construction and operation, and plans to seek LEED 'green' certification.

NIMBY IN ACTION - THE HARD TRUTH BEHIND 850 ROUTE 28

-

We have heard this claim before - 'why don't you build in a more appropriate area?' However, the reality is that NIMBY is everywhere - there are currently no sites in Ulster that wouldn't attract some opposition. There is now too much financial gain for these organizations to resist calls to 'shut down' private businesses. They use controversy to 'gin up outrage and call for donations for their organizations' - its a clear pattern. There are no development sites in Ulster that environmental groups like CMK/WLC/OSI will commit ahead of time to not oppose for development. There is no pre-planning with county or local governments to ensure investor/developers won't get blindsided by environmentalist attacks. So at any time these and other groups will attack anything proposed at any time - there is no attempt to preclude senseless lawsuits, oppositions and delays. The 850 Route 28 project is a perfect example of this predicament - its an abandoned open...
