Residents Want Moratorium on Rt 7 Development in Brunswick

At a recent meeting of the Rensselaer County Legislature, residents from Brunswick and Troy pleaded for relief from the escalating quality-of-life issues stemming from unchecked development along the Hoosick Road Corridor. The forum centered around a resolution sponsored by the Democratic Minority Office, urging the Town of Brunswick to enact a moratorium on future development until critical concerns—ranging from traffic congestion and neighborhood disruption to safety, noise, and light pollution—are meaningfully addressed. Local resident Mary Ellen Adams talks to Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
