Columbia Hill Neighborhood Alliance (CHNA)
The members of Columbia Hill Neighborhood Alliance hope that the Town of Thompson Planning Board addresses the numerous questions about the accuracy and completeness of the latest Full Environmental Assessment form submitted to the town on January 29, 2020 by the developer of Gan Eden Estates.
The board accepted the sketch plan of the project presented by the developer, passed a resolution to become the lead agency of the project for environmental reviews and made a Type 1 action SEQRA positive declaration at its meeting on April 22, 2020.
More reviews, permits and approvals are required from the Town of Thompson, Sullivan County, the Delaware River Basin Commission, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the New York State Department of Health.
The developer must schedule a new site plan review with the Town of Thompson Planning board, submit a scoping document and plan a public information session.
