On 5/6
You are invited to attend a News Conference/demonstration that will be held to voice dissatisfaction with the Cardinale administration over their attempts to prevent a fair and objective environmental review at the EPCAL site.<?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O />
It is clear that the town which owns the land and stands to make hundreds of millions of dollars on development there cannot objectively conduct the environmental review required by law. It is a colossal conflict of interest.
We had hoped to await an objective environmental review before taking a position on the proposed project, Riverhead Resorts. However a series of anti-environment initiatives by the town caused us to lose faith in ever getting a fair and objective environmental review. We are now forced to move immediately to defend against the threats to drinking water and habitat posed by the development that is being proposed.
Please join us at the news conference/demonstration which will be held on Tuesday May 6 at 1:30 p.m. Its location is outside of <?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = ST1 />RiverheadTown Hall, 200 Howell Avenue, (at Main Street) in Riverhead
Please let us know if you will be attending. 369-3300. Also please advise others concerned about development at EPCAL.
Thank you for your help!
