Candidates' Statement on Six Senses Development Project

We understand that issues like the Six Senses development project can spark strong feelings, and we deeply respect the passion and concern that residents bring to public discussions. When the Town Board considered issues related to the Six Senses application, we made our decision based on the fair and careful application of the laws currently in place. Our responsibility is to uphold those laws and, when needed, to review and amend them for the future.

At this stage, the Six Senses matter is being carefully reviewed by the Planning Board. While the Planning Board is appointed by the Town Board, it operates independently to ensure that the review process remains thorough and fair. The Planning Board has the authority to place restrictions on the project, and it welcomes input from the community on what those restrictions might be.

To give our residents the opportunity to thoughtfully consider the kind of development that best serves our town, the Town Board has also placed a six-month moratorium on new conference center and hotel projects. During this time, the Board will be reviewing the Zoning Code and will suggest revisions to align the hotel and conference center regulations more closely with Clinton’s needs. If revisions are adopted, those new laws will replace the existing regulations and provide clearer guidance for future development.
