A letter to the Schodack Board

Date: Thursday, December 29, 2011, 5:55 PM
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.
