Kathleen could I ask how the village has changed. I know the town has changed considerably with over building and neglect. I hear also there are some who want high density residential in the village that of course brings more traffic and compounds infrastructure and quality of life issues as well.

Dear John - I guess you don't remember Navarro's barbershop, the drug store on Hudson at the curve, the bus stop, the Storm King Theater with the sticky floor, the open spaces, Donahue's farm where the 4th of July celebration was held, Braden School, Mountain Road with Stillman Farm and not a bunch of McMansions - wow - how long have you lived here?

I'm a transplant from a small community one of them named Granville,Ohio and from the suburbs of Detroit,Michigan and I can tell you this area cannot continue to be built on without deterioration of land and of quality of life. I looked at many communities in the Hudson valley and none came close to the tranquility of Cornwall on Hudson thus the move here. That is why I cringe everytime I hear of more parking lots more pavement more building(dense building Apt and townhouses) and everyother change that brings more traffic into the tranquility of this village. Yes it would be convenient for a drug store butcher baker and even possibly a candlestick maker. The problem is that everyone uses 9w since it was built instead of 218 sooo no traffic flow that is our dilemma. thank you Jim
