Wing Station

March 6, 2009

CRGD would like to see a true “transit oriented development”  take shape on the site of the former Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center.  ”Wing Station” concentrates construction close to the train station. Compared to the Dover Knolls proposal, the Wing Station draft plan lowers the actual and carbon footprint, mitigates the effect of stormwater runoff, reduces Vehicle Miles Travelled, (a best practices metric of energy efficiency,) does not build on steep slopes in keeping with best practices in Dutchess County, and leaves a wider berth for the environmentally sensitive lands of the Great Swamp, a NYS DEC Critical Envrionmental Area.  

We would like to see the Benjamin Companies work closely with Dutchess County Planning and one of our Land Conservancies to bring the Dover Knolls proposal more in line with the Wing Station Draft Illustrative Sketch Plan prepared for the Town of Dover in March, 2005.
