     Did you know that the town of Cochecton is in the process of changing its zoning plan to expressly allow horizontal hydrofracture drilling for natural gas in 90% of the town?  No other town in our area has taken such a radical step, which we believe could overwhelm the community, just as Dimock, Pennsylvania has been overwhelmed.

     However you feel about gas drilling, ATTEND THE PLANNING BOARD MEETING on May 27, 7:00 p.m. at the Town Hall.  Learn the facts. Express your views.   http://www.kcr@cochection.org
