“Empire State Development briefed my office on Thursday. The primary concern I raised to ESD was the lack of fire services for that parcel. With the decline of volunteerism and new OSHA proposals threatening existing fire services, these issues must be resolved before moving forward with development.We have engaged in several conversations with the Town of Fishkill to ensure this project adheres to the necessary steps for approval. Our office is committed to advocating for the residents, ensuring their interests and concerns are fully represented and addressed throughout the redevelopment process. I look forward to working collaboratively with all stakeholders to ensure this project benefits our community and meets the highest development standards.”
