Thursday, September 23, 2010 - 7 PM to 9 PM

Public is encouraged to attend .. ecspecially those who live in Rotterdam Junction.

Heard this kind of crap on Hamburg St.......

It will be a terrific political sideshow I am sure!

Quoted from GrahamBonnet

It will be a terrific political sideshow I am sure!

I can only hope not....but it appears that those in office find 'friends in pockets' blow smoke then leave......

This BOA study is funded by a grant applied for by the Tommasone administration and awarded by the
state earlier this year.   The study is non-partisan -- should be supported by people of all parties and
political views.   The purpose is to look at several "brownfield" sites in Rotterdam Jct -- between Route
103 and Schenectady International - and between the Mohawk Rover and the Thruway.
The purpose of the public meetings is to inform the public of the process and get as much input from
the residents about what THEY want .. as far as economic and other development in that part of the
town.

To respond to the previous two comments - it is NOT "crap" nor is it a "political ideshow".

It is an opportunity for residents, business leaders, and community leaders to discuss and share ideas --
from which will come a realistic vision for POSITIVE development in Rotterdam Jct.

ARE THERE SEWERS IN ROTTERDAM JCT?????

I don't believe that there are sewers in the junction.

that is just soooooo rotterdam. Putting the horse before the cart. No vision....no plan....no infrastructure. But let's all get together and talk about how we want our town developed.

OOPS.....sorry, we don't have sewers!!!

If sewers are called for .. that can be included in the eventual plan --- this first step is a STUDY ... and
part of that study is getting resident input
no cart has been put before any horse  ...

if you would drop your negativity and just come to the damn public meeting ... you can learn about the
process and then share your ideas .. and maybe ... just maybe  .. do something positive and
constructive for the town for a change

WTH?....First and foremost everyone knows that sewers are needed!!!! Propose the cost of new sewers to the taxpayers FIRST and see if they will vote YES.....THEN you move forward!! Without sewers nothing will be developed.
Again....A$$ BACKWARDS! Seweres first studies later!!

That is how 'intelligent' municipalities do it!!

could you at least drop the negativity and come to the meeting -- learn about the process  and share your
ideas

yeah,,,,,I went to the meeting on Hamburg St.......I learned about the process and all they were selling was a roundabout(which I do like)
but that was in the works via STATE......when grant $$/study $$ comes in, there is already a 'solid piece of the pie' being sold
from within their briefcase.....the 'sales folk' just bring it around.......

No negativity here...never going to get anywhere unless you try...I will be there with bells on !!!!!!!

            In the case of Rott. Junc., the treatment plant is as much of, or more so, a priority as the sewers.  Assuming you even had sewers, you couldn't pump it all the way to the existing wastewater treatment plant, so this would mandate a second treatment plant.  Even if it was feasible to pump it (which it isn't), the existing plant is pretty much at capacity.  In fact, there may be upgrade requirements once Helderburg Meadows, Curry Road Shopping Plaza housing project, and Larned's 248 Garden Apartment complex all gets hooked up.

            To agree with your statement, nothing moves or gets looked at without sewers, (and to add), and a wastewater treatment plant!

residents
