Ramapo supervisor Michael Specht told “The Morning Show” Friday he has no opinion of the project one way or the other…
The project’s been in the works for more than five years. The local CUPON activist group is considering taking legal action against the project.

The town owns the property but has been looking to sell it or maintain it as parkland.
