BEFORE AND AFTER 20th Century Mining at 850 Route 28

-

 As you can see in these compare and contrast aerial photos - the first taken in 1958 and the second taken in 1978, that the 850 Route 28 site was severely damaged from open rock quarrying and mining.  This site will greatly benefit from the plans for 850 by capturing all storm water runoff capture into two large filtration ponds, and improvising overall water quality from the site's runoff.  And the site will be put back on the tax rolls for something needed locally - infrastructure for local roads and bridges.

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.

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.
