RPC public hearing in Otown

May
17

Orangetown officials are looking for public input on what is being called the largest private development in Orangetown history.

The homebuilder K. Hovnanian plans to replace dozens of defunct RPC buildings with 575 housing units worth about $300 million when completed, according to town estimates. Nearly all the new units would be restricted to people ages 55 and older.

A study on the redevelopment plan, which looked into the environmental, traffic and financial impacts of the project, was recently released publicly. As part of the process, Orangetown officials are holding hearings to get public input on the study. One of those meetings will be held tomorrow (May 18) night at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall.

The study (called the “Draft Environmental Impact Statement for RPC”) is available on the front page of www.Orangetown.com.

If you can’t make it, you can still submit comments on the study to:

Thom Kleiner at Town Hall, 26 Orangeburg Road, Orangeburg, N.Y. 10962 or by e-mail to supervisor@orangetown.com.

The deadline for comments is June 18 at 5 p.m.
