Beacon Democratic Committee
Monthly Meeting: Saturday August 11th @ 9:30am BeaHive 291 Main Street Beacon, NY |

Together we’ll fight for:
CITY COUNCIL ISSUES Development Moratorium: We must use the 6-month pause to re-set our zoning on Main St, Fishkill Creek and historic areas for density, design and jobs. Sustainable Zoning: New construction must get all the details right – height, setback, style, fit with adjacent parcels, public space and more. Empower Planning/Zoning Boards: Give them tools, laws and members to effectively manage development – including limiting density. Tioronda Bridge: Plan for one-lane restored bridge primarily for pedestrians, bicycles and trail connections. Quality of Life: Beacon’s popularity puts our community in the driver’s seat – for insisting on good design, green space, recreation & more. COUNTY ISSUES Lost Sales Tax: Fight to restore Beacon share of sales tax, which has cost us over $4 million since 2013. $250 Million Jail: Enact alternatives to incarceration to bring down exorbitant cost of new county jail. Green the County: Develop green energy resources – solar, wind and other renewables – following Beacon’s lead. Executive Committee Members
