As the Guilderland Town Board began its discussion of the 107-unit proposal on Nov. 18, Supervisor Peter Barber said, “I always like to use an analogy to baseball because I think at this step we’re not even in the first inning. This is simply just to accept the application, meaning that we're not approving it.”

The town began to update its two-decade-old plan just before the pandemic, but decided not to proceed until November 2022 because public participation was at the core of the process. 

Altamont Mayor Kerry Dineen said the Enterprise news story was how she and board members learned of the tax hike, and she called for changes going forward. “I don’t think this increase should stand,” Dineen said, suggesting the budget be amended.
