Once again, promises made, were promises kept as Town Supervisor Joseph D. Cavaccini, Senior Councilman William H. Beale, Councilman Christopher Phillips, and Councilman Al Casella unanimously adopted significant updates to the Town Comprehensive Plan and Town Zoning Code aimed at preserving residents’ quality of life, preventing overdevelopment, and ensuring the community’s long-term sustainability.

Most importantly, I’m proud to share that the Wappinger Town Board has just passed historic legislation aimed at preserving the unique character of our community. This bold action protects over 8,000 acres of land from overdevelopment, preventing high-density multi-family construction in our single-family residential neighborhoods. This is a critical step in maintaining the quality of life our residents expect and deserve, and ensuring our Town’s future reflects the values we all share.
