Dear Schodack Board Members,
I hope you all had a quiet, peaceful, safe and enjoyable holiday season. I wish that I could say that I did, however with the proposed plan of Dollar Tree building a storage facility in my backyard (albeit the size of Yankee Stadium), I've been a bit stressed.

Dollar Tree competition is one some residents don't want to win
SCHODACK--The land near the intersection of Columbia Turnpike and Route 50 (WNYT meant Route 150) doesn't look like much now but it could soon be home to Dollar Tree's 80 acre Northeast distribution center.

Boys & Girls troubles...sounds familiar

RENSSELAER — The Rensselaer Boys and Girls Club must raise $100,000 in the next several weeks or close by the end of January, club officials said Friday.
"We're in dire straits. We'd be putting 120 kids out on the street every day," said Rick Van Vorst, the club's executive director.
Not so very long ago....

My question is this, since the building had been donated by Fleet Bank in 2002, who purchased it and for how much...where did that money go?

If
you think it may be important to be informed about the proposed 675,000
square foot Dollar Tree / Liberty Distribution Center that is proposed
for Schodack off of Exit 11, than you may wish to attend the Schodack
Planning Board Hearing for it on Monday December 19th
at 7:00 pm in the Schodack Town Hall. Since it is a Hearing, this
provides you and your neighbors the opportunity to ask questions and to
pose any concerns that you may have. The Distribution Center
is planned for additional growth to reach 1,000,000 square feet with
150 or so trucks arriving and departing each day. Dollar Tree is seeking
permission from NYS to use tandem trucks on the NYS Thruway.
The meeting starts at 7pm and the Hearing begins at 7:15pm.
If you would like to catch up on media coverage from over the past couple weeks and read minutes of 2 Nov. Planning Board meetings on the Distribution Center proposal, please see the attachment.
