Let your voice be heard. Tell the Mamakating Planning Board that you are against the inappropriate Yukiguni mushroom plant and that the Final Environmental Impact Statement is NOT APPROVABLE. Yukiguni states in its environmental impact statement that \"only a small vocal group\" is against the project. We need to show them they are wrong. Community members easily distributed 200 No Mushroom Plant signs, 35 residents spoke at the planning board hearing and still others submitted written comments about the impacts the project would have. During this final comment period on the final environmental impact statement we need support from those of you who do not want an 80ft high, almost 900,000 square foot building on Rt. 209 which is twice the height of Kohls and almost 3 times as many square feet. In addition, the jobs are low paying, the water consumption is outrageous and free, and they will add 20-30 trucks a day to traffic on our roads. The Mamakating Planning Boards needs to issue a \"negative\" finding in order to stop Yukiguni in their tracks. The Final Environmental Impact Statement demonstrates that the actions chosen by Yukiguni DO NOT avoid or minimize adverse environmental impacts and they DO NOT BALANCE THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS WITH SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND OTHER NUMEROUS CONSIDERATIONS.

The momentum is undeniable. They cannot call us a small group anymore.

Rt 209 is already a mess. Truck traffic is only gonna make it worse for everyone living around here. Keep this out of our town.

Ridiculous to even consider a building that massive. It will totally ruin the view and the quiet we have here. Say NO to this plant!

Nobody wants this ugly factory destroying our roads and our property values. Planning board needs to do their job and protect the residents for once.

Our water is not for them to waste. We moved here for the clean environment not to have some industrial plant drain the resources. STOP THIS.

Small vocal group my foot. We all hate this idea. Go look at the signs in every yard on the road.
