What
is Unhand Piermont?
“Unhand
Piermont!” is a rallying cry and blog dedicated to opposing a proposed
development project and alleged wrongdoing by village officials in Piermont,
New York.
The
controversy centers around a proposal for a three-story, 14-unit apartment
building in downtown Piermont. Residents and concerned neighbors established a
Facebook group, Preserve Piermont, and the blog, Unhand Piermont!, to voice
their strong opposition to the project.
The
main concerns raised by the “Unhand Piermont!” movement include:
•
The proposed building’s modern design being inconsistent with Piermont’s
historic character and aesthetics.
•
The project’s potential impact on traffic, parking, and flooding.
•
The development being planned on a former gas station site with potential
environmental concerns (underground storage tanks).
•
Allegations of wrongdoing by village officials, including a lack of public
input and the amendment of zoning codes to facilitate the development.
The
blog actively critiques the actions of Piermont Mayor Bruce Tucker, referring
to him as a “Garmento Mayor” and highlighting alleged fiscal and administrative
mismanagement. It has also documented litigation related to the controversial
zoning changes that enabled the project, which was declared “null, void and
jurisdictionally invalid”.
