5 issues in development
Park West PDD amendment hearing scheduled
A November 4 hearing will consider making Park West's internal roads public, dropping a planned 3,000-square-foot clubhouse, and dedicating stormwater basins.
Short-Term Rental Regulations
New Local Law 14 limits short-term rentals to owners' primary residences while letting existing STRs continue — a compromise after residents pushed for the primary-residence requirement at the September hearing.
Concrete Batch Plant Moratorium and Outside Legal Expenses
Residents crowded public privilege demanding the town act against a proposed concrete batch plant, citing health, noise, traffic and water impacts. The board scheduled an April 21 public hearing on a 180-day moratorium, but the applicant's attorney warned the county referral hadn't been made.
Gas Station Development
Local residents lost their court fight to stop a huge new gas station and convenience store in Clifton Park. Get ready for heavier traffic and a totally different look in your neighborhood once construction starts.
Retail Development
Bass Pro Shops is opening a massive new store in Clifton Park, bringing a major retail attraction and new jobs straight to our backyard. It's a big win if you love outdoor gear and want more local shopping options.
