Of Interest
Earlier today, this post appeared on the Galvan Foundation Facebook page.
Strangely, the image that accompanies the message is the rendering for the building originally proposed for the east side of North Seventh Street, adjacent to the old Hudson Upper Depot, not for the building at 75 North Seventh Street now being proposed.

Now there's a business that's got its act together! Let them build whatever they want, whatever side of the road they want. Does it even matter?
ReplyDeleteEver been inside Galvan's office on the 200 block of Columbia? It is spooky. It should have a sign out front: WE ARE UNPROFESSIONAL
B Huston
the Sign might also say, We are Shady and Self Serving
Deleteif this building were built on the old Shoprite site off of Fairview Avenue, this building would make alot more sense. In that area there are real grocery stores, drug stores, other affordablestores and the high school is much closer.
ReplyDeletethere are basically no services in Hudson and the subsidies for this kind of development require those places to be nearby. But, in Hudson no one in government plays by the real rules. It is a food desert for low income people no matter what anyone says.
Great point! I hope Galvan and co. read Gossips!
DeleteThey do, but the point isn't to put the project where it makes the most sense or helps the most people. The point is to put the project where it will make the most money and meet the least resistance.
DeleteHudson is full of vacant Galvan properties that have driven up rental costs at least as much as STRs. It's ironic that Galvan is presenting itself as the solution to a crisis that it in no small way helped engineer.
There are so many other existing Galvan buildings to finish renovating first! Plus, I believe this new plan involves tearing down 3 charming houses. And how about building some townhouses that prove more accommodating for families - maybe a little backyard behind each for a garden that can be shared.
ReplyDeleteSwitch and bait
ReplyDeleteIt is outrageous that Galloway wants to construct a new building while he allows the existing properties he owns to deteriorate. For example, his building at the corner of Fifth and Union Streets is large enough to accommodate several families. Instead of renovating it, he allows it to crumble and be an eyesore in my neighborhood. Shame! It is clear that Galloway cares more accumulating wealth than he does about reducing the oppressive tax burden on the taxpayers of Hudson.
ReplyDeleteGreat points by all. In a sane, less greedy world, these ideas would get the attention they deserve.
ReplyDeleteEveryone can rant and rave. Rightly so. The fact of the matter is the Common Council is deaf to the citizens of Hudson and is going to move forward with this plan regardless. I continue to be befuddled as to what sway Galloway holds over our elected officials? Is he paying them off? Threatening them? What?! But such wanton disregard for the peoples' outrage at this "deal" is astounding.
ReplyDeleteThe CC leader has no shame, plays dirty and is unfit to lead
DeleteThe bundling of tourism board proposals would certainly lend itself to your position. It's much harder to hide the pork if the proposals are voted on individually.
