Planning panel approves GE Vernova outdoor pavilion; SWPPP must be finalized before permits
Summary
The Planning Commission approved site plan and issued a negative SEQR declaration for GE Vernova’s proposed 80x80-foot outdoor pavilion at 1 River Road, noting the stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) had not yet been finalized before permits may be pulled.
The Schenectady Planning Commission approved a site plan and issued a negative SEQR declaration for GE Vernova’s proposal to build an 80-by-80-foot outdoor event pavilion at 1 River Road, subject to the finalization of the required Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
Corrie Whalen of GE Vernova described the pavilion as space where employees could "enjoy outdoor time out of the office and eat lunch," and said the structure would also serve as a venue for larger company events as GE continues to expand its wind business in Schenectady. Consultant Alison Yovine told commissioners that SWPPP revision comments remained under review and would be submitted by the end of the week.
Commissioners stressed that permits could not be pulled until the SWPPP was fully approved; the motion to issue a negative SEQR declaration and to approve the site plan carried unanimously with those conditions attached.
