COLUMBIA HILL NEIGHBORHOOD ALLIANCE
The lawsuit filed against Gan Eden Estates and the Town of Thompson by The Center for Discovery and Catskill Mountainkeeper is being closely followed by the members of Columbia Hill Neighborhood Alliance (CHNA). The lawsuit argues that the project would adversely affect both organizations. The suit also seeks to void the settlement reached between the developer of the project and the Town of Thompson on the basis that the town violated open meetings law and failed to comply with current SEQRA regulations.
The Gan Eden Estates project on Columbia Hill is a threat to our community. Flawed planning decisions, faulty water quality testing and irresponsible environmental considerations are a recipe for disaster in our community.
The Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) has still not announced the result of Gan Eden’s permit request to withdraw millions of gallons a month from the aquifer for use as the development’s public water supply.
Visit CHNA at www.columbiahill.org or on Facebook to learn how you can help to protect your environment and your community.
