Guilderland Coalition for Responsible Growth (GCRG) is concerned with the speed and lack of transparency of the approval process for an explosion of massive new development projects proposed throughout the Town.
GCRG was formed to represent the residents’ rightful voice at every step of these new development proposals.
We would like to advise you of a proposed very large apartment complex development that is being considered on New Karner Road. It is a proposal by the Markstone Group from NYC entitled Pine Bush Parc LLC that will include a 4 story and 5 story apartment building across from the Post Office and Gladwish on Route 20. Neighbors in the area have grave concerns about many issues and have generated a petition to make these concerns known and to ask that it not be built. This project is not just about the folks and neighbors who live near the proposed project, but ANYONE who would be traveling Route 155. Please review the attached petition and sign if you are in favor of what they are asking. We also ask that you share with your friends, neighbors, social media etc.
