The Map I Made for Save the Pine Bush – Lupine Festival 2022 and 2023

Just showcasing some of the more refined maps I’ve made up. This looks really good when printed on color on Arch C-sized paper.

State Supreme Court Justice Peter Lynch was unsparing when he ruled last week that the environmental review of apartments and a Costco store proposed for Guilderland was far from thorough.

Judge Lynch, in a highly detailed 77-page ruling on a lawsuit brought by town residents, knocked the developer, Pyramid Management Group, for keeping its plans for the massive new development a secret, and criticized the Guilderland Town Planning Board for cutting corners as it undertook the state Environmental Quality Review Act process
