COLUMBIA HILL NEIGHBORHOOD ALLIANCE (CHNA)
No news is still good news for Hurleyville!

The developer of Gan Eden Estates has not yet submitted the new DEIS (Draft Environmental Impact Statement) to the Town of Thompson Planning Board. The statement which must address environmental factors and concerns will be subject to public review and comment before it is considered for approval and acceptance. The Planning Board will then review the applicant’s site plan application which will require another public hearing before any approval to allow site work to commence. The members of CHNA continue to monitor and provide input on this ongoing process.

Visit CHNA at www.columbiahill.org and on Facebook to learn how you can help to protect your environment and your community.
