Flesh out Dover Plan but keep it moving/Proposal still has unresoved issues
June 29, 2009
The Poughkeepsie Journal invited the Coalition to author a guest column to share its concerns about the Dover Knolls DEIS for the redevelopment of the Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center.
– Please see the Editorial and Valley Views, June 28 2009
The accompanying Editorial offers what we consider to be a balanced view: it recognizes the importance of phasing and ensuring sufficient water capacity for both the project and the current residents, while at the same time encouraging the redevelopment of the site. The author asks that the Town Board allow adequate time to weigh the serious issues while keeping the process moving. Decisions the Town Board makes this year will have lasting effects long after this Town Board, the developer and the current residents are gone.
“The Town has every right, and obligation, to hold the developer to high standards, especially since this project is bound to have a major impact.”
The developer, Alvin Benjamin, was invited to write a guest column as well.

A point of clarification: The Town Board did hire its own consultant as Town Planner, Graham Trelstad with AKRF, to advise them throughout the SEQRA process.
