don't for get a sonic!!!!

winter happens down state to and they have a sonic or two

lets go Park....phases... get that area lookin good and use this amazing area as it should be used

Hell...a park? How about doing something about those taxes some are paying in the junction? Some are beyond outrageous! I'm shocked that more people aren't filing article 78's!! A park won't help lower the taxes out there.

parks=McMansions

Taxes are high everywhere....you aint gonna change nothing....quality of life helps you swallow it a little easier....

quality by who's standard? value by what standard? swallowing taxes? I'm feeling a bit anorexic with a touch of failure to thrive......

so how so we get a rework of 5s
one of those nice village grants
hopefully the state is working its way east from utica and the jct is next
maybe our new dem highway super can work a deal

and then we can have a sonic !

quality by my standard...you can have your Walmarts etc over on the east side...We need things of quality not just tax base....before you start...of course we need something to help the high taxes out here...I pay over 10,000.....I bet you dont. Well rounded community...come on !

Be careful what you wish for? Excluding the Jct, the rest of rotterdam has developments coming out of their a??!! Let me see now.....from walmart, to a gazillion MFH's, to railex, to the price chopper freezer, to fedex, to the heldeburg medows development, to condo's......and rotterdam's taxes, both property and school taxes continue to rise!!!
Guess how that's working for those rotterdamians?????

And you're looking for quality??? Forgetaboutit!! The metroplex, which brings with it Susan Savage, Judy Dagostino and the rest of the county vultures, are running the show now!. The BEST you will get is a gin mill or a non-profit!!! And they will jam it down your throats!! And your taxes will STILL go even HIGHER!!! I promise you this!!!

but you have a choice as do I.....the town proper will become like the city.....and worse because there is no foundation for economic
growth....IE: hamburg street and the likes.....this is MY idea of economic stimulus---build it and they will come, hand it out and there's
sh!t to clean up.......NO PILOT, NO GRANTS ETC ETC.........nanny nanny nanny......well if you think park is value for your McMansion
then it IS subjective....and 'the subjects' should be listened too not talked to by the electorate......we need to stop building subjective
podium pucks and make REAL growth and stimulus......

Rotterdam Junction has been given a BOA Study Grant  (brown fields oppurtunity)  and we (the study
group that I am a part of) are looking at ways to rehabiliate some of the brownfield sites in that part
of Rotterdam.   There will be public input forums and more news about this over the next few months.

more appts, pizza and retail coming to a street near you

but no sonic!

DVOR, if I'm able to attend I will be there, but I don't currently know what my schedule is going to look like for the rest of the year.  Please keep us updated.  Do you have a list of the brownfields that you are currently looking at?  I assume the first one on the list would be Curry Road Shopping Plaza.

how can i get on that commitee ? we need to preserve the junction...as i have said before it is a jewel with the waterway bike trail history etc...we need to add to that....Parks...

The brownfield study is only for Rotterdam Jct - the area between Route 103 and SI .. between the river
and the Thruway.  There are several including the old "Bonded Concrete site".
