New Castle West End Residents Call for Relief on New Watershed Regs
July 5, 2024----Martin Wilbur

EXAMINER NEWS---The New Castle Town Board continued to receive pushback from residents of the town’s West End last week in reaction to tighter restrictions for more than 100 properties within a special watershed protection district.

Several homeowners affected by the proposed regulations for the Indian Brook-Croton Gorge Watershed Protection Overlay District renewed calls for New Castle to explore alternatives rather than saddling them with overbearing regulation that would likely cost them additional money and potentially devalue their property.

Aside from 102 properties in the West End of New Castle, it also affects portions of Cortlandt, Croton-on-Hudson and Ossining town and village. A primary objective of the district is to protect Ossining’s drinking water source. Thus far, Cortlandt is the only one of the five municipalities to approve the restrictions.
