New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli Wednesday announced an agreement to convert an abandoned gas station in Dutchess County to community green space. The agreement between the New York Environmental Protection and Spill Compensation Fund, or Oil Spill Fund, Dutchess County and the Town of Hyde Park is to convert an abandoned gas station on Route 9G in the town to green space. The Oil Spill Fund, which is administered by DiNapoli, has paid $500,000 for cleanup and petroleum remediation efforts at the gas station and neighboring properties dating back to 1978. The Town has agreed to demolish the building and landscape the site. Once the remaining structure is removed, the state Department of Environmental Conservation will assess whether additional cleanup is needed. The Oil Spill Fund would then pay for the completion of any further cleanup.
