Chatham sues Ghent

Dec 07, 2011 12:05 am
Lisa D. Connell in the Register-Star reports that attorneys for the Village of Chatham filed an Article 78 lawsuit against Ghent, because of their dispute over a proposed new Price Chopper supermarket that would straddle the town lines. Most of the 45,000 sq. ft. store would be in Ghent, but a portion of the property lies in Chatham, where Price Chopper will close its current store. On Nov. 2 Ghent's planning board approved the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) process, claiming the project would not substantially affect the environment in a negative way. Chatham disputes that. "This lawsuit challenges the way the town conducted its environmental review process under SEQRA,” Chatham Attorney Cheryl Roberts wrote to Connell in an e-mail. Roberts says the Chairman of the Ghent Planning Board, Jonathan Walters, has admitted that documents in the ongoing approval process have been destroyed. Read the full story in the Register-Star.
