Rumors Confirmed

Sam Pratt just reported on his blog that documents now available in the county clerk's office confirm that Colarusso Ventures has purchased twenty Holcim parcels for just $8.75 million. The parcels total 1,800 acres--an area 50 percent greater than the City of Hudson.

Three of the twenty parcels are in Hudson--the "port" and South Bay--the rest are in Greenport.

  2. Everyone get ready for the conveyor system from Becraft which residents implicitly tolerated with their silence.

    I refer to the amended zoning in 2011, the voting for which was attended by three regular commenters at Gossips, the Gossips author herself, and an alderman-elect. With the exception of Chris Reed from Friends of Hudson, that was the entirety of city residents who attended.

    So please don't make a fuss when the Colarussos submit their new plan for a conveyor system, or perhaps when they submit the same plan that's been kicking around since 2007.

    It was at the January 4, 2007 LWRP public workshop that Ms. Mussman unveiled a 24" x 36" color display of the conveyor system she's personally worked out with the landowner.

    Following the public's shocked protest at that meeting, the exhibit was removed and has since disappeared.

    But it really just went underground, because In 2011 it was enshrined in our new Zoning Code which was itself devised according to the landowner's specifications. We have to live with that.
