https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2024/05/frank-decarlo-and-craig-weis-purge.html
The citizens of Piermont, New York and Rockland County, New York oppose Mister DeCarlo’s activities within the State of New York in connection with “Piermont Developers Limited Liability Company”. Mister DeCarlo’s LLC currently seeks to place an abhorrent overstuffed residential construction directly within the center of Piermont, that would disfigure this picturesque and historic Hudson River Valley village. The DeCarlo construction would destroy local traffic patterns while in the process paving-over the site of a former Sunoco gasoline station that had underground gasoline tanks. Additionally, the DeCarlo construction would work to further flood-out the low-lying village of Piermont already suffering severe flooding distress - due to rampant and unchecked over-development - and due to a soft and tainted small-time local village government violating process mandated by Rockland County, the county within which Piermont sits:
