Beekmantown residents, there is a special meeting tonight at 5:00 p.m. at the Beekmantown Town Hall on Spellman Road regarding the proposed kennel law and the SEQRA designation. This proposed law may affect any resident who owns four or more dogs, so I encourage everyone who may be impacted to attend and stay informed.
Your tax paying dollars have been used jn litigation over this. And most people in the community do not know that. Very concerning.
Clinton County residents are also welcome, as many of you rely on dog-related services within the county. At this time, there is only one primary dog boarding facility in Clinton County, and the demand for safe and reliable boarding, training, and grooming services continues to grow.
For the past several years, I have been planning a dog training, boarding, and grooming facility on property I purchased specifically for that purpose, based on the zoning information available at the time from town officials on property that a kennel was permitted.
Community participation at this meeting is important so the public can understand the proposal, ask questions, and ensure their perspectives are heard. I’ve been getting a lot of phone calls and messages regarding this issue and it’s quite concerning that such a large group of residents in beekmantown do not know that this has been going on since February 2025 and I have been attempting to work with the town on this issue but the town has not acted on any requests I’v made and have stonewalled me at every corner.
Please show up and demand answers. Once again beekmantown residents, your tax paying dollars have been paying legal fees since may on this issue.
