There is an Explosion of Growth
Going on in Guilderland Right Now.
Together We Can Do Something About It!

Guilderland Coalition for Responsible Growth (GCRG) is concerned with the speed and lack of transparency
of the approval process for an explosion of massive new development projects proposed throughout the Town.
GCRG was formed to represent the residents’ rightful voice at every step of these new development proposals.

The current officers are:

Chairperson:  Robyn Gray
Vice Chairperson:  Gordon McClelland
Secretary:  Karen White
Treasurer: Gerd Beckmann

 

GCRG USUALLY MEETS THE 1ST AND 3RD MONDAYS OF THE MONTH AT 7:00 PM
 

Our next meeting will be held on Monday, May 6, 2024 at 7:00 p.m.
