Amanda Purcell and Logan Weiss report for Columbia-Greene Media that a group of Germantown residents filed a lawsuit Aug. 22 against the town's planning board, Primax Properties, and property owners Paul D’Souza and Henrietta D’Souza. They claim the board did not properly follow the environmental review process when it approved the proposed Dollar General. Primax wants to build a retail store on Route 9G north of the county Route 8 intersection and rent it to Dollar General for 15 years. Acting Rensselaer County Supreme Court Judge Henry Zwack is overseeing the attempt to overturn the planning board’s environmental determination and approval of the project, Rhinebeck attorney Warren S. Replansky said. Arthur and Elizabeth Cady, Carole Neville, Karen Targove, Angela Olszewski, Douglas Trapp, and William Kimmel are named as suing the town. “I am sad,” Olszewski said in July when the planning board approved the project. “This will change the heart and soul of Germantown. A corporate entity for the first time is placing its stake here and Dollar General has a bad reputation of being a gross store that does not maintain itself.” The defendants need to submit a response by Oct. 12.
