Residential development generally costs more in taxes than it offsets. This may be slightly mitigated by the fact that most of the units are going to be marketed to seniors, which reduces the burden on the school system. <BR/><BR/>Still, shouldn't the Village be trying to steer developments like this one to the Village center, near Main Street? <BR/><BR/>I agree that the Planning Board seems to lack the capacity to address these challenges, though not for the reasons you mentioned. <BR/><BR/>By the way, who would you rather see on the Village Planning Board? <BR/><BR/>Galasso and his minions who work for Cobleskill Stone and Lancaster? Why not Nadeau himself?

I believe the first instance was the Hyett palma study. The etymology of the word "maven" is yiddish. It means a "self" proclaimed expert.
