Addendum to the List of Meetings and Events

The week ahead isn't as free of meetings as I led you to believe. Here are a couple that were left out.

• On Monday, August 28, the Stuyvesant Planning Board meets at 7:00 p.m. at Stuyvesant Town Hall, 5 Sunset Drive, in Stuyvesant. The meeting is of interest because the Planning Board is continuing its review, which has been going on for a year now, of the proposal to construct "farm-stay" cabins, a distillery, a guest house, and other amenities on what is now 58 acres of farmland and open space on Sharptown Ridge. The applicant contends that what is being proposed is permitted as "agribusiness"; opponents of the proposal maintain it is a commercial lodging development, which is not permitted in the town's zoning code.
• On Wednesday, August 30, the Columbia County Housing Task Force meets at 4:00 p.m. The meeting is a hybrid, taking place in person at 1 City Centre, Suite 301, and on Zoom. Click here to join the meeting remotely.
