Keep Rhinebeck Rural

Large scale mining is the most damaging land use there is. It destroys neighborhoods, permanently alters the land and causes a significant increase in noise, damage to roadways, air degradation and ultimately increase taxes to residents. The only ones who gain from the magnitude of mining that has proposed on White Schoolhouse Road (3-1/2 miles from Rhinebeck Village), are the owners, Red Wing Properties.

That is why residents have created a petition to Elizabeth Spinzia, Town Supervisor, which says: "Red Wing Properties has proposed a huge mining operation on White Schoolhouse Road (a residential area) that will significantly destroy wetlands and change the character of Rhinebeck. By signing this you attest that you support a change in the zoning ordinance that would prohibit the proposed expanded mining and the associated very heavy truck traffic on White Schoolhouse Road in Rhinebeck." Please sign this petition support our opposition to save the rural character of our neighborhood.
