Tomorrow Night at the Planning Board Meeting

The agenda for Thursday night's Planning Board meeting has been posted on the City website. It confirms that there will be a discussion of the proposed Colarusso haul road. The new consulting engineer will be introduced; questions will be asked of Colarusso's engineer, Pat Prendergast; and the board will prepare for the April 18 "informational meeting" on the proposal, which begins at 6:30 p.m., at Columbia-Greene Community College.

In addition, four new projects will come before the Planning Board. The first is a proposal to move the Hudson Brewing Company to a new location within 99 North Third Street, the giant former L&B building, and open a tasting room at the site.

The second is a proposal to renovate and repair an existing office space in the basement at 5 East Court Street.  

The third is a proposal for 205-207 Warren Street, but that application, although on the City website, cannot be opened, so what's planned for this building remains, for now, a mystery.

The fourth is a proposal to convert the house at 239 Warren Street into mixed use residential/commercial space.

At the last Planning Board meeting on March 9, Tom DePietro, who chairs the board, said he would schedule a public hearing on the proposal to develop the basement of Galvan Armory into office space and a daycare center for COARC. A public hearing on this proposal, however, is not part of the published agenda for Thursday's meeting. 

The Planning Board meets at 6:30 Thursday, April 13, at City Hall.
