About

Little Falls First is comprised of concerned Little Falls residents who are fighting against the Zaida Housing Project on Reed Street in Little Falls, NY. Zaida is a 138 unit, Section 8 commercial housing development concept that is forcing itself between some of Little Fall's prime real estate, proposed by Pennrose and Rock City Development, in conjunction with ICAN.

Community Impacts

Concentrating low income residents does not lead to economic mobility. A small, shrinking tax base can not afford to absorb the fees associated with the extra services and resources needed to support this project. Infrastructure reconfiguration, including rezoning of residential areas, will result in neighboring property values decreasing.

Environmental Impacts

Environmental Impacts from construction could result in bedrock disruption and soil erosion, and long term flooding due to water to run off into the local watershed and surrounding creeks and streams.
