The GCRG and Save The Pine Bush are planning a socially-distanced, mask-wearing "Stop The Pyramid Scheme" protest at the Guilderland Town Hall at 6:00 pm on August 26th to greet the members of the Guilderland Planning Board as they arrive for a specially scheduled meeting to issue their findings statement on the "overdevelopment" Rapp Road, the Mall Ring Road and Western Avenue.  

This is the second special planning board meeting to accommodate Pyramid (Crossgates), which is currently suing the town of Guilderland because they do not want to pay their full share of taxes.

Please join us to make one more strong plea to this board to put the environment and residents first.  

If you don't feel comfortable being outside with the crowd, you can still attend and express yourself from your vehicle in the parking lot with signs on your car or holding them out the window, flashing lights, etc.

We ask that you bring your own sign and typical gear for being in public (i.e. mask, and hand-sanitizer or gloves).

Also, we need to raise more money for experts to review the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) and prepare for the future if the Planning Board doesn't do the right thing.  Please make a donation to support this effort at: http://rapproadgofundme.org/

This is an added special of the meeting Guilderland Planning Board that was not on the original calendar for the year. The agenda for this meeting has one item, "DECISION ONLY - Consideration of Adopting the State Environmental Quality Review Findings Statement for the Rapp Road Residential/Western Avenue Mixed Use Redevelopment Projects"

This is the second special planning board meeting to accommodate Pyramid (Crossgates), which is currently is suing the town of Guilderland because they do not want to pay their full share of taxes.

The dedicated page for the Environmental Impact Statement - Rapp Road Residential/Western Avenue Mixed Use Over-development Projects on the town's website says that this meeting will be used for the Guilderland Planning Board to issue their findings statement.

GCRG and Save the Pine Bush will be demonstrating outside of the Town Hall starting at 6:00pm socially distanced and with masks.  See "Stop the Pyramid Scheme" Protest for more details.
