Dear Nieces and Nephews
less than a half mile away from Chestnut Ridge
Shalom Lamm has been in the news. Quite a bit lately.
According to the Executive Summary for Chestnut Ridge, it
was intended to be a Hasidic community all along.
Marketing and selling to one religious group violates State
and Federal Law. Not nice, Shalom. And please don’t give us the nonsense that
anyone can buy there.
With the sometimes called “explosive”” and other times “exponential”
growth that will occur there, they are surely going to need water.
And apparently, Mr. Lamm has known for a long time. He knew,
back when Dan Depew, (his employee at the Wurtsboro Airport and his colleague at
AMBIT Energy), was in the OC Legislature and presented a water expansion idea
that would cross county lines and supply much more water than needed for the
400-500 residents of Bloomingburg at the time.
If you recall, Auntie addressed this issue last October.

2015 Orange County Outlook
Remember, Dan, when he
was in the legislature, proposed creating a “water loop” or expanded water
district with the Town of Mamakating and Village of Bloomingburg in Sullivan
County, just next door. The water district he proposed would accommodate 3-4
times the population of the time. Did he know something? Was there a plan?
Shalom Lamm’s new development, which is being marketed only to Satmars, will
more than double the population of the Village of Bloomingburg. (That water
expansion sure would have helped the project. Maybe Shalom told Dan of his
plans when he was working for Shalom at the airport?}
WHAT did Dan Depew know about this establishment of this new Satmar community and WHEN did he know it?
In the executive summary
for Chestnut Ridge, the developers brag about buying land contiguous to the
currently owned property, the strategy is to “quietly” acquire large swaths of
undeveloped land adjacent to the currently owned property or nearby and then
expand the community by developing later or annexing and developing later.
What parcel is next? Well,
the Town-owned Korn’s Campground is a 75 acre plot less than a half mile away,
just over the Shawanagunk kill. It was purchased by the Town of Wallkill aka
Depew last year because Danny wanted the town to be in the camping business;
certainly not to sell it to any developers.
So it couldn’t be that
parcel., could it? Nah!
less than a half mile away from Chestnut Ridge
And the Town of Dan Depew recently hired a contractor, Bangor Abatement Services Inc. of Bangor Maine, to
operate the campground and possibly expand it in the future! http://www.midhudsonnews.com/News/2016/March/21/TWkl_Korn_purchase-21Mar16.html
Bangor Abatement
Services. Abatement? As in asbestos abatement? To operate a campground? https://app.oneteam.net/Profile/bangor-abatement-inc-30NC6#details
As you can see following the above link, the services
provided by Bangor Abatement Services involve mostly remediation, remodeling, janitorial
and security services.
WHY would you hire them to operate a campground?
Unless you wanted to remove asbestos from old structures, engage in
lead abatement or provide “general government support” in getting a parcel of
land ready for sale or for “expansion”.
Nowhere does it mention experience with
managing campgrounds. But Bangor Abatement is near a golf course, maybe that’s
it.
We look forward to discussing this parcel again after the
camping season.
What do you say? Dan Depew, Supervisor of the Town of Wallkill

If ever there was a need for an outside agency to step in and take a look see, it's time for it now.
ReplyDeleteDanny BOY me thinks you maybe interviewed by the FBI Re: your association with LAMMMMMM.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder Dan wanted a water park. How can Depew be now trusted to serve in office. Be careful who your friends are Daniel but I guess the game was more important than the oath you took to serve your constituents and not just friends of Lamm. Wonder how many more politicos are involved in the secret plans and all the money they intended to scam.
ReplyDeleteAs they say "follow the money."
ReplyDelete...and the water and sewer capacity
ReplyDeleteHear Dibaldi may co-operate with INVESTIGATION INTO Orange Co. Politicans. Debaldi doesn't want to go to Jail.
ReplyDeleteDubaldi would have to give up some big fish if that's true.
ReplyDeleteIf I was Dubaldi I'd start pumping iron.

ReplyDeleteAnd in this article it states as "as an extra added bonus Senator John Bonacic was able to secure a grant for $75K for a secluded park for children. (so is that why the Senator was not able to meet with certain members who invited him to attend their meeting, because it would not be in his best interest of 'friends').
We felt that it was in our strategic interests to bind that property for the public for future generations.
— Dan Depew, supervisor , Town of Wallkill
*for all of you interested in securing a reservation for the campgrounds, opening day was slated for May 1st.
Unless there is some kind of conservation easement or state designation, the campground is not bound to the public for future generations. It is town property and can be sold at any time the town board votes to do so.
ReplyDeleteWhat a crock!
To 8:19 AM post: You're correct that what they sell crocks-all kinds of them.
ReplyDeleteDan Depew is made of teflon, just like the husband of a current presidential candidate. He will come out of this smelling like a rose, not like his name.
ReplyDeleteAmazing how all his Councilmen bailed on him this year, all but the one who votes against him. Wonder what they knew???
ReplyDeleteFOIL for the agreement to hire the Abatement company. Find out exactly what they were hire to do, and how much they are being paid.
ReplyDeleteHere come the F.B.I... the small fish fry easy.
ReplyDeleteDon't kid yourself. Where is the FBI when Cuomo accepted $ for vetoing a bill for KJ? Where was the FBI when KJ perpetrated voter fraud years ago? New York is one of most corrupt states in America. Where is the IRS when cash is exchanged in the photo and diamond district in NYC thus avoiding millions in taxes.
ReplyDeleteI was told several years ago by an employee in KJ that their lawyer is the same lawyer that represents our congress. They buy our politicians and put them in their pockets to do their bidding privately and tell them they can criticize KJ in public. Ask me if I really think things will change--not a chance!
