Pine Plains has no wastewater system. This means new business is subject to hyper strict zoning that prevents any business moving in that uses water. For instance, a general store would need a public restroom; a new restaurant would need a dishwasher; a dog groomer would need a bathing sink. County and State zoning does not take into account soil type and does not work on a case to case basis, so small rural towns have to fit into regulations created for cities. Given this, how do we welcome new business to Pine Plains?
