Town approves permit support and lead‑agency permissions for health‑care, mining and solar projects
Summary
The board waived a building permit fee and supported Hudson Headwaters’ Alice Hyde Medical Center project, granted NYS DEC lead‑agency status for a Titus Mountain sand and gravel permit, and acknowledged a SEQR negative declaration notice for the Thomas Hill Solar Farm project.
At its Aug. 21 meeting, the Town Board of Malone approved a set of permit and lead‑agency permissions related to local development projects.
The board voted to waive a building permit fee for Hudson Headwaters and accepted a recommendation from the Town of Malone Planning Board in support of work at Alice Hyde Medical Center; the board also granted the Village of Malone permission to serve as lead agency with the town listed as an interested party for that Hudson Headwaters project.
Separately, the board granted the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) permission to act as lead agency on a Titus Mountain sand and gravel permit application. The board also received correspondence from the Village of Malone about a SEQR negative declaration for a proposed Thomas Hill Solar Farm project; the minutes record the correspondence but give no further details about the solar proposal at this meeting.
No votes at the meeting approved construction or funding tied directly to these items; the board’s actions were procedural permissions and fee waivers that allow the formal review process to proceed. The board’s motion to waive the Hudson Headwaters permit fee and to accept the Planning Board recommendation passed unanimously.
