SAY "NO" to SOLAR ON SLOPES...DON'T DESTROY CROTON!
Hudson National Golf Club and Matrix Development, LLC filed an Application for a Special Permit to install an Industrial Solar Farm on scenic steep slopes overlooking the Hudson River over 2 years ago. On its face, there is much about this Solar Farm project that would have justified denial shortly after the Application was filed. It is primarily for the financial and energy benefit of HNGC and Matrix, yet detrimental in so many ways to this Village, its residents and natural resources. It is not "Green" and violates our Village's essential environmental laws. It is also not consistent with our Comprehensive Plan, and is an attempt to extinguish the previously agreed-to No Disturbance restrictive covenant relating to the proposed Solar Farm site. That valid and existing covenant was a condition of HNGC being granted its original permit by Croton-on-Hudson over 22 years ago!
It completely flies in the face of what we have come to expect about what it really means to be environmentally conscious these days. Because in order for this Application to be approved, our Village Officials would, in effect, be proactively giving HNGC and Matrix permission to violate numerous important protections in each of those laws ... permission to destroy our environment and natural resources. In fact, it would be giving them the right to violate the underlying intent and bases for why those laws were enacted in the first place.
This has not made sense to very many of us, because it just doesn't make any sense! This community knows that if this Application is approved, so much will be destroyed and lost that will not be able to be replaced... our trees, slopes, views, wildlife and their habitats... our peace of mind, and sense of safety. And, there is very little to be gained, because this Application really isn't about saving the earth, it's about saving and making money for HNGC and Matrix ... and as a result Croton will suffer.
Purpose of this Petition: For our community to stand in our integrity as to what being pro-environment really means.

To let our Mayor, Village Board, Village Attorney, HNGC, Matrix, their Engineer and experts know that what has been going on in our Village for the last 2 years in connection with this HNGC/Matrix project is not acceptable, and has nothing at all to do with saving the environment, global warming or climate change and must satisfactorily be addressed in accordance with our laws.
