Join Congressman Ryan and local veterans for an important Community Speak-Out and Rally to protest the closure of the Acute Care Unit at Castle Point VA. This will be a chance for veterans to share their stories and stand united in opposition to the VA’s decision to close these vital services.
NOTE: The rally will take place nearby, but not directly on the Castle Point campus.
The goal of this rally is to make a powerful statement to the VA that we will not stand by silently while essential services for veterans in the Hudson Valley are taken away. Only veterans or veterans’ organizations will be speaking at the event. We encourage community members and elected officials to attend, as their presence will show solidarity and strength in numbers.
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.
