Summary

Council members discussed a proposed soil-treatment operation in nearby Fort Edward, noting opposition from the Hudson Hall School District superintendent and the town of Fort Edward, and suggested the city submit comments and request a public hearing during the DDC comment period.

Council members raised a concern about a proposed soil-treatment operation in neighboring Fort Edward and recommended submitting comments to the DDC and requesting a local public hearing so Glens Falls residents can express potential impacts.

The chair said the superintendent from the Hudson Hall School District and the town of Fort Edward had already filed comments opposing the project. The chair said, without having completed research, they saw no downside to requesting a public hearing to allow residents to raise concerns and asked if the council had any objections to filing a comment during the DDC comment period.

Deputy City Attorney Bringer assisted staff in locating existing public comments on the DDC website and offered legal support for further filings. The council did not record formal action in the public transcript beyond the chair’s proposed next steps.
