Oppose Sterling Mine Road Active Community

The Town of Ramapo will consider changes needed for the Sterling Mine Road Active Community (Lorterdan) on Wednesday, April 13, at 8 p.m. at
the Town Hall. I hope many will be there because this development boils down to an enormous gift to a developer right in the middle of New York and New Jersey parkland.

The parcel, opposite where Eagle Valley Road joins Sterling Mine Road, is now zoned R-80. The developers, Lorterdan, are asking for changes so that they may build 292 units on 241 acres, clustered.

The land in question is just across the border from NJ and not far upstream from the Ramapo well fields supplying a third of Rockland’s public water. It's within the view shed of Torne Mountain in Harriman Park.
