The current draft Waterfront plan for Hudson reflects neither the public input received, nor the 2005 instructions from the Secretary of State for rezoning this magnificent public resource. We call upon the City of Hudson and State of New York to:
(1) extend the public comment period; (2) revise the plan in a more forward-looking direction to unlock the full recreational, habitat, and commercial potential of this regional treasure; and (3) remove any possibility of further impairment of these resources by heavy industrial activity, nuisances and blight.
The wetlands of South Bay should not be further industrialized; and the public's access to the Hudson River should not be compromised by harsh, incompatible neighboring activities. Future generations will thank those citizens and officials who ensure that this plan is one based in long-term benefits for the many, not in the narrow, short-term concerns of a single corporation.

I am absolutely against Colarusso being issued a CUP for the waterfront dock or the haul road. Their business is out of line with what has been a designated waterfront renewal space. Amazing green energy buildings have been created out of abandoned buildings, featuring stunning pollinator gardens, solar energy and they employ dozens of people .I recommend taking a look at the profoundly beautiful direction our waterfront has taken, read the hundreds of comments from local citizens and business owners. Read Hudson’s city codes: it is impossible to grant the CUP in light of these issues. Time for Colarusso to get out of Hudson’s waterfront for now and forever.

Colarusso has shown blatant disregard for the laws and regulations of the City of Hudson and the wishes of its tax-paying citizens, and has thus forfeited its right to have proposed plans to expand its waterfront operations considered by the city. Colarusso has clearly demonstrated that it has not been a good neighbor, and very likely it does not intend to start acting like one in the future.

The Hudson waterfront is a precious human and environmental resource. Do not let it be compromised by unseemly commercial or other development.

Enough with the industrial nonsense. This river front belongs to the people not some big company that doesnt care about our town.

WHY ARE WE STILL TALKING ABOUT THIS. The current plan is trash and ignores everything us locals asked for. Fix it now.

Our waterfront needs to be a place to walk and enjoy nature. Keep the trucks and industrial junk away from South Bay.
