Our Work in Sleepy Hollow

Here's what others have said about Scenic Hudson’s work in Sleepy Hollow:

“The best [riverfront projects] will be those enriched by a sense of history, an abundance of ambition and a touch of dreamy audacity. All three are present in a proposal by Scenic Hudson to restore the historic flow of the Pocantico River.”
– The New York Times, Editorial, Feb. 27, 2005

 

“Scenic Hudson’s plan was crafted as a community restoration program to, hopefully, become a model for river reclamation projects throughout the Hudson River Valley, setting the bar for future waterfront development to ensure they include the full range of amenities and treatments that meet both the community and developer’s wishes.”
– Waterwire.net’s Waterwire News, Mar. 7, 2005

 

“Those of us living on the east side of the Hudson need to be thinking of 100 years from now. What can we be doing for our grandchildren?”
– Nicholas Robinson, chair, Sleepy Hollow Planning Board, The Journal News, May 18, 2005

 

“We should not feel pressured by what the developers have presented. They do not live here nor do they know the history and flavor of our village.”
– Cynthia Sandler, Sleepy Hollow resident, The Journal News, Feb. 16, 2005

 

“High-density residential development is threatening to choke the river banks like plaque on an artery.”
– The New York Times, Editorial, Nov. 20, 2005

 

“I think we definitely want to extend the use of Kingsland Point Park. Also, having an additional outlet for the Pocantico River allows another side of Kingsland Point to be opened up where people can actually walk down to the Hudson River. That particular kind of access to the river would allow for wading or launching kayaks.”
– Nicholas Robinson, Sleepy Hollow resident
(and chair of the village planning board),River Journal, Apr. 20, 2005

 

“The poor people won’t have an opportunity to live there. The ones who are going to buy there are the engineers, doctors. But the people from town won’t be able to buy there or live there.”
– Orestes Ledesma, Sleepy Hollow resident, The Journal News,May 18, 2005

“We’re deeply concerned by the density of this project, which would increase the village population by a third.”
– Richard Plano, Sleepy Hollow resident, The Journal News, Feb. 9, 2005

 

“If you have to take your kids to a baseball game at 5 o’clock at Washington Irving school – we have friends that leave at 4:15. We’re very concerned about the traffic.”
– Sherry Bishko, Sleepy Hollow resident, The Journal News, Feb. 9, 2005
