Quigley Embraces Low Income Housing Development?


 Quigley's Vision for Ulster's Future?

Daily Freeman Story- http://www.dailyfreeman.com/articles/2011/12/25/news/doc4ef64f14aefcd054166972.txt

Town Supervisor Jim Quigley seems like he is rolling out the welcome mat for a housing developer that wants to build mix housing of about 164 units. 112 of those units will be senior housing, the remainder will be "family" housing.

Is Supervisor Jim Quigley trying to bring more low income housing into Ulster?  As a town resident, I sure hope not. Ulster Gardens, the name of the proposed housing site sorta sounds a lot like Roundout Gardens, which is a not so great "family housing" development in the City of Kingston.

We as residents of Ulster must hold the Supervisor and town board accountable and also make sure the out of town developer Jonah Mandelbaum, who has no ties to our community is not given a fancy pilot or tax break, after the double digit tax increase Supervisor Quigley gave us we simply can't afford it!

A public hearing has been scheduled on January 12th at town hall AT 7pm

  1. This is crazy we do not need more low income housing in Ulster. Supervisor Quigley is a hypocrite, will a pilot be issued? The people want to know!

  2. No pilot for this developer! Also traffic regulations have not really been addressed to my satisfaction. We are talking about a serious impact, part of these houses are for senior citizens remember. Bad spot for this project.

  3. Will the Ferarro's ever be able to develop their property? What will be O.K. with Guido and company?

  4. What's not being told is Quigley's firm approval of he project is to breaks Aaron's balls and this is going to increase the safety net costs to the town. Its going to be another 28 motel for section 8 clients. The smoke screen is the name sr housing... but really it is giving competition to Aaron. Gotta go somewhere since the City tore down the Kings motel
