Croton Board of Trustees votes to begin zoning change approval process for a proposed development at 1 Half Moon Bay Drive. Trustee Nora Nicholson votes no.
At least 80 villagers showed up to oppose a 280 apartment development at the "Finkelstein" tire site. After more than two hours of public comment, the Board voted to formally consider the project.
As we reported earlier today, the Board of Trustees meeting agenda for this evening included a request by the consortium that now owns 1 Half Moon Bay Drive, the so-called “Finkelstein property,” to change its zoning from light industrial to a designation that would allow construction of a 280 unit multifamily apartment complex. The bitter debate which has attended this and other housing projects in the village was in full evidence at the meeting, where at least 80 residents at any given time—and possibly as many as 100 counting comings and goings—showed up to oppose the project.
The only Crotonite who spoke in favor of the project was Croton Housing Network president Nance Shatzkin, who ended up giving the “finger” to the crowd when she was roundly booed by the angry and animated attendees.
The resolution the Board was considering read as follows:

Thank but as always, they did not care. We only think they work for us.
