Seeks comments on criteria for ‘disadvantaged’ communities
The state Department of Environmental Conservation will hold a virtual public hearing on June 29 to receive feedback from Hudson Valley residents on its draft criteria to define what makes a community “disadvantaged.”
Beacon, which ranks higher than much of the state in flooding risk, diesel pollution, housing-cost burden, environmental remediation sites and how long it takes to reach a hospital, fits the proposed criteria.
See dec.ny.gov/press/125281.html. Public comments can be submitted until July 7 to [email protected].
