CROTON EMS----CONGRATULATIONS CHRISTINA GREENE AND EVELYN McANDREW

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

FROM THE CROTON ON HUDSON EMERGENCY SERVICES FB PAGE Facebook--Congratulations to Christina Greene and Evelyn McAndrew, this year’s recipients of the Charles J Ellison Memorial Scholarship!

Charles passed away in 2017 at the age of 20, after an 8-month battle with brain cancer. Charles was passionate about volunteering for Croton EMS and we established this Scholarship to honor Charles and to reward graduating seniors who show similar passion and dedication toward Croton EMS.

Christina and Evelyn both joined Croton EMS as Freshmen and have volunteered almost 300 hours each through their active participation in training sessions, ambulance ride-alongs, parades, blood drives, and other events. In addition, both served as officers of the Youth Corps for 2 years: Christina as Lieutenant, and Evelyn as Captain.

Christina will be attending the University of Connecticut, following a pre-med track; Evelyn will be attending The Catholic University of America, studying Psychology and Theology. We look forward to having them volunteer with us during breaks and summer vacations.

Congratulations Christina and Evelyn! SEE PHOTO AT Facebook

THE CROTON CHRONICLE---"DOG WHISTLE" OR RUNAWAY DEVELOPMENT? CROTON CONTINUES ITS LIVELY AND OFTEN ANGRY DEBATE OVER WHAT SOME ARE CALLING THE "URBANIZATION" OF THE VILLAGE

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

"Dog whistle" or runaway development? Croton continues its lively and often angry debate over what some are calling the "urbanization" of the village.

The Board of Trustees met twice last week to discuss two major proposed housing developments with significant implications for the village's future. Opponents to the projects are getting organized.

As most readers will know, two major housing developments are in the works for Croton, one at Lot A across from the train station entrance, and another at 1 Half Moon Bay Drive at the so-called “Finkelstein property.” The developers are proposing 100 affordable condominiums at Lot A, and 280 apartments (10% affordable) at the Finkelstein site.
