Clinton Town Council to Hold Public Hearing on Conference Center Moratorium

The Town of Clinton is moving forward with a proposed six-month moratorium on new applications for conference centers, hotels, and motels, following a public hearing held on August 12, 2025. This decision aims to pause any new developments in these areas while the town assesses its current landscape and future needs.

During the meeting, officials clarified that the moratorium specifically targets new applications and does not affect three existing proposals already in progress, including the much-discussed "6 Senses" project. Residents were reminded that comments regarding 6 Senses should be reserved for the general meeting that follows the public hearing, ensuring that discussions remain focused on the moratorium itself.

The proposed local law, known as Local Law Number 1 of 2025, is set to take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State. Copies of the law are available for public inspection at the town clerk's office during regular business hours, allowing residents to stay informed about the implications of this moratorium.

As the town navigates this temporary halt on new applications, officials are encouraging community engagement and feedback, emphasizing the importance of public input in shaping the future of Clinton's development. The next steps will involve further discussions and evaluations to determine the long-term impact of this moratorium on the town's growth and infrastructure.
