Their statement in 2014 on the history of "Westbard" claimed it was unpopulated before the railroad came through, and contained nothing about the African American community, nor the cemetery. The original historical advisor never showed up once during the weeklong charette events (and was the same guy who giggled when he told the planning board there was nothing historical whatsoever about the industrial area in 2011, when I presented extensive evidence of black and Native American history during hearings on the Little Falls Place development).<br /><br />Only after I ripped the fake history did one of the planners reach out to me for more information to create a more accurate historical background for the plan. And the cemetery has never been made a priority or taken seriously by County officials, or there would have been strong language in the plan.

Roger Berliner's letter begging for mercy from the Planning Board on the cemetery issue is laughable, when you remember he voted for the Westbard sector plan without adding firm requirements on cemetery issues.

This does not speak well of the Planning Department and the Planning Board.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-53300482595150317952017-02-09T17:48:45.365-08:002017-02-09T17:48:45.365-08:0011:12: Your guys sleep through all the big news th...11:12: Your guys sleep through all the big news that I'm breaking on this website.
