Public hearing on Ramapo housing
-
- February
- 25
There will be a public hearing at 8 p.m. on March 18 in Town Hall on the town’s plan to build about 130 units of affordable housing off Elm Street at the Spring Valley border. The town has created a development agency for the project, which means that Ramapo will be the builder, although it will hire a contractor to do the actual construction.
Spring Valley officials support the idea of affordable housing, but have expressed opposition to the density of the project because of concerns for traffic and storm water drainage.
Although public hearings are intended as a way for all residents to have a chance to comment on one plan or another, there may be a conflict with holding the hearing on this night.
It’s also Election Day in the Ramapo villages of Airmont, Chestnut Ridge, Hillburn, Kaser, Montebello, New Hempstead, New Square, and Pomona.
Should the hearing date be changed to accommodate more input from residents?
