Assemblymember Barrett Statement on U.S. Coast Guard Decision Not to Recommend More Anchorage Sites

“The United States Coast Guard’s decision not to build more anchorage sites at this time is the direct result of advocates and residents fighting for our communities and our majestic Hudson River,” said Assemblymember Didi Barrett (D- Columbia, Dutchess). “Our regional economy, well-being and way of life depend on the health of the Hudson. While we celebrate this report we must also stay vigilant to ensure there are no future anchorage proposals.”
