Re: Hemlock Woods — PB Application #20250989
Mr. Chairman, Members of the Planning Board and Staff:
Recently, I received a presentation on the Hemlock Woods project proposed for South
Broadway and currently under consideration bythe City Planning Board.
On behalf of the SEDC Board of Directors, I respectfully provide this letter in support of that
application.
My understanding of the project is that during its construction and once completed it will
add economic opportunity and community benefits not only to the city but also to Saratoga
County as a whole. The project as described appears to blend nicely with the current and
neighborhood uses in the area; the creation of an estimated 70-85 jobs and up to 200
temporary construction jobs will support the economy both in payroll and sales tax revenue
and the anticipated real property tax that will be imposed will add economic support to the
taxing jurisdictions in the city, county and school district.
Thank You for this opportunity to provide this letter of support and for the efforts of the
Planning Board and city administration that makes the City of Saratoga Springs a great place
to live, work and raise a family.
