NEW FROM THE CROTON CHRONICLE--KEN REGAN SPEAKS ABOUT MAPLE COMMONS

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

NEW FROM THE CROTON CHRONICLE---Ken Regan, VP of Regan Development Corporation, speaks about Maple Commons

In an interview with the Chronicle, the owner of the controversial development answers a number of questions we had about the project.

As anyone who attended last evening’s Board of Trustees meeting or watched it online will know, the future of housing development in Croton-on-Hudson remains a hot button issue. With Maple Commons now a fait accompli, two major new developments, at Parking Lot A and at 1 Half Moon Bay Drive, are now working their way through the village’s approval process. A small but spirited crowd of villagers showed up to protest the speed at which “urbanization” is allegedly occurring in Croton, and some villagers have now started a petition campaign to try to slow it down or stop it.

During the non-agenda item public comments at last evening’s meeting, the Chronicle’s editor, Michael Balter, got up to inform the board that the developer of Maple Commons, Regan Development Corporation, was refusing to answer any questions about this publicly funded project for an update the Chronicle was preparing. As Balter told the Board, this raised serious questions about transparency, even if the village no longer owns the so-called “Katz property.”

We are happy to report that Regan’s vice-president, Ken Regan, got in touch this morning and agreed to respond to our queries. MORE AT Ken Regan, VP of Regan Development Corporation, speaks about Maple Commons (substack.com)
