I was looking at the site for Mahopac Farm today and thinking about how much traffic that one intersection already gets without adding a million square feet of retail on top of it. It honestly shocks me that they think we would barely notice such a massive overhaul but the emails I keep getting from all of you remind me that nobody here is actually okay with losing our history just to build more corporate space.

We lose the essence and meaning of the Town of Carmel. As of right now, this intersection of routes is essentially at full capacity, many would say above capacity. This space made more beautiful--or useful to any but profiteers. We won't get Bernie Zipkin--entrepreneur par excellance--back under any circumstances but we might want to continue to have and enjoy life in the Town of Carmel--if we can save it from the real trend toward urbanized over development!
My family has been here for 30 years and we hate seeing the farm disappear. Leave it alone.
The traffic on 6 is already a nightmare. We dont need more retail space that sits empty while everyone sits in gridlock.
This project is way to big for our quiet town. Nobody wants this mega complex here.
Too many apartments and not enough water or infrastructure to support it. STOP THE OVERDEVELOPMENT.
definite NO!
