CUPON members of New Hempstead, Pomona, Hillcrest, New City, Chestnut Ridge, Airmont, Monsey, and all Rockland County residents:
The New Hempstead CUPON meeting this Thursday is VERY important. A main topic will be the proposed development of the Miniscengo Park/golf course in New Hempstead off Pomona Road. The developer is proposing several hundred new units on this property. He submitted a request for a Waiver of a Public Hearing and Re-Approval of Final Site Plan to the Ramapo Planning Board for a July 20th hearing, which has been rescheduled to July25th. If this project is successful, it will stifle traffic, water, sewage, and the suburban lifestyle for all of the surrounding communities. [Read more…]

“A year ago, a grassroots group called CUPON was formed by a Hillcrest resident who saw an urgent need to keep the area’s development in check.
Since then, that group has helped a handful of similar organizations spring up around Ramapo, a town with a long history of civic activism. They all share concerns similar to CUPON’s, which stands for Citizens United to Protect Our Neighborhoods. [Read more…]

“Village residents will now have more power to determine who can and cannot knock on their doors.
Trustees on Tuesday passed a law creating a “do not knock” registry in Airmont, which reflects a growing trend across Rockland in preventing door-to-door solicitors from rapping on people’s doors.
Airmont follows Clarkstown and Orangetown in passing no-knock laws that proponents say will give residents a tool against aggressive real estate canvassing and solicitors. Some homeowners have used terms like “blockbusting” to describe high-pressure tactics of real estate agents on behalf of the ultra-Orthodox community.”
