Much of this area is sparsely developed, however proposed installation of sanitary sewers may rapidly accelerate development in this area. This effort is part of a Land Use and Transportation Planning Study that the Town of Rotterdam is conducting in conjunction with the Capital District Regional Planning Committee. An initial public work session was conducted on May 3, 2004 to allow residents and public officials to review and comment on information gathered to date within the study area, and to voice their concerns and suggestions about future development in the area. The Town and consultants assisting the Town have taken this information and developed several potential suggested alternatives within the study area. The information and potential development scenarios to be presented at this second public work session will be available on-line beginning May 21, Those wishing to review this information may access it by utilizing the following web address: ftp://burdeck:burdeck@ftp.wilbursmith.com (Don t use www before this address.)
