Please Donate Now: http://rosa4rockland.org/donate Although we are not anti-development, ROSA values land preservation and open community spaces. We are concerned because the town”s last remaining open space and a primary source of drinking water is being threatened by a proposed massive, high density, multi-family housing development that is slated for an inappropriate area of our town. In fact,
if built, this development, part of which sits on top of a protected aquifer, would endanger our limited water supply. This aquifer is vitally important because it provides water to a region so vast it crosses state lines. Moreover, this land cannot properly sustain a project of this magnitude without wreaking irreversible damage on the surrounding communities. Our group has serious concerns about the safety and sustainability of our water supply, the community character of this historic neighborhood, traffic safety, overcrowding, and other threats to the environment. We are united to say “no” to an ill-conceived and out-of-place development that will violate the existing harmony of our community. Our group insists that the Town of Ramapo, which is entrusted with the health, safety and welfare of the entire community, properly evaluate and consider this project adhering to all local, state and federal laws and regulations. In particular, in addition to the aquifer, the town must consider the potential complications and hazards posed by the Columbia Gas Pipeline which runs directly underneath this proposed high density housing complex.
