Allowable under the requested new zoning code: 80 units. Planned to be built by the developer: 231 units. City of Troy, NY - the project at #save1011 is not allowable under your own zoning code. Why is this still being pursued?
Are they gaslighting the Troy City Council ? Are they gaslighting us? What they ask for: P (max 80 units) What they want to do: 231 units What they mean: R4 "Urban Neighborhood". Say what you mean, not what you want to make us believe. Don't gaslight us.

BREAKING: New York State Dept. of Environmental Conservation has denied Greenidge Generation’s application to renew its Title V air permit as inconsistent with the state’s climate law. Burning fossil fuels to power crypto mining tripled facility emissions. New York continues to lead on climate. dec.ny.gov/permits/123728…
