Green, Ostner face-off in New Windsor supervisor race
Continued from page 1
disabled residents with rides to and from
their homes before being de-funded in
2012 due to budgetary constraints.
“At this moment we have a loop (bus)
system in the town,” Ostner said. “But, if
you are west of Thruway 87, there is no
public transportation whatsoever.”
Ostner also wants to see “a light-rail
line brought to Stewart Airport” and a
light-rail maintenance yard to accompany it.
Ostner, who was endorsed by the
Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s
Association of Commuter Rail Employees
union, pointed to the MTA’s $32 billion
2015-2019 capital plan, saying he felt the
transportation agency would support a
light-rail line coming to New Windsor.
He spoke out against payment in lieu
of taxes (PILOT) agreements for residential developments in the town. “I will stop
any PILOT program for residential development,” he said, adding that PILOT programs were not originally designed to
support residential developments.
“I would like to find out why New
Windsor lags behind every community
around us in terms of commercial and
financial development,” Ostner said.
“New Windsor has none.”
Ostner pointed to the Loop-Hudson
Valley and the Crystal Run Healthcare
center on Rt. 300 in the Town of Newburgh
and big-box stores such as Wal-Mart,
Lowe’s and the Home Depot as examples
of nearby development. “New Windsor
has been ignored,” he said.
Water, sewer and aqueduct
Ostner said he opposed the Kiryas
Joel pipeline.
