“Water and sewer infrastructure has been ignored for the last 20 or 30 years and without that it’s hard to expand business on our (U.S. Route) 9W corridor,” he said. “I think smart additions to our water and sewer systems are highly needed to keep taxes down and invite smart commercial growth.”

Appler also would like to increase parking on U.S. Route 9W. “Without additional parking the…businesses within our hamlet can’t grow. I’ve got some ideas on where to establish parking. It’s not easy but we do have options.”

Garcia would like the board to focus on keeping the cost of housing down. “The biggest thing is affordability in this town and housing,” he said. “I think the only thing that can be done is taking a look at businesses, corporations, if they want to come in and they’re getting tax breaks there has to be some kind of compromise. If they’re getting a tax break, well, then I need assurances (that) you’re going to build affordable housing.”

Proposes conditioning tax breaks for businesses and corporations on assurances that they will build affordable housing.
