Nancy Kern reports for Columbia-Greene Media that on May 18 Greene County Industrial Development Agency Executive Director April Ernst said that the agency is partnering with the county to spend American Rescue Plan Act money to extend water and sewer lines to an undeveloped parcel on Route 23 they hope will have industrial uses soon. Mahwah Partners, LLC, a company owned by Dr. James Schneider of Rexford, owns the property, and he met with the Cairo Town Board on May 17. Greene County Legislator Harry Lennon claims a large company is about to be announced to use the land, but he won't say what it is. Lennon said, “They’re a Fortune 300 company. They’re not going to use a lot of water. They’re not going to manufacture. They’re going to assemble things." The land is at a traffic light, where Route 32 turns south to Saugerties and into the Town of Cairo. Public hearings on the project begin on June 5, with two more later in the summer. Cairo Supervisor Jason Watts said that, “One hearing is required to make another water district.... The other is to make it a sewer district, and the third hearing is to change the zoning to a wider form of commercial use.” At the April 20 Greene County Industrial Development Agency meeting, Albany Engineering firm Delaware Engineering was contracted to perform the design and construction of the sewer and water lines.
