HUDSON WELLNESS PROJECT: CORTLANDT ZBA TO KEEP HEARING OPEN

THE EXAMINER NEWS - July 11, 2022 -  Rick Pezzullo - A public hearing before the Cortlandt Zoning Board of Appeals on a proposed luxury drug and alcohol rehabilitation specialty hospital that has been closely scrutinized for the last seven years was kept open last month.

The ZBA also decided on June 27 to schedule a site visit to the 48-acre site on Quaker Ridge Road and the surrounding area for Sunday, July 17 at 9 a.m. after being encouraged by residents to see how the Hudson Wellness Center project could adversely affect the residential neighborhood.

“It’s community character. That is the primary concern,” stressed Brad Schwartz, an attorney representing a group called Citizens for Responsible Hudson Institute Site Development (CHRISD). “Does this use belong in a location on a town road?”

The ZBA must grant a variance since the Town Code requires hospitals in residential zones to be on state roads.  READ MORE AT
