A winning moment for Just Beverages as the lawsuit filed against the company was dismissed. The lawsuit was connected with the methods, particularly the water extraction operation of the company.
According to Mirror News Service, David Krogmann, Supreme Court Justice of Queensbury, Warren County, dismissed the lawsuit. It was filed by a group of town residents in an effort to annul the Town Board and Planning Board action on the Just Beverages water extraction operation.
Krogmann dismissed the lawsuit last Dec. 30, as one of his final decisions before retiring from practice. He said, "In the matter at bar, the Court finds that the Planning Board and the Town Board both took a hard, reasoned look at the environmental aspects of the proposed amendment to the zoning ordinance."
Meanwhile, Glen Post Star cited that Krogmann resolve was based on how the residents' group did not establish that the Town Board action was "arbitrary, capricious or otherwise an abuse of discretion." It was in April that the Town Board voted to add "water extraction" as a suitable use in the zone, an area where the company draws water.
The article further mentioned that the lawsuit was centered on the town's approvals in 2015 of the firm's underground well on city of Glens Falls watershed property just near the Butler Pond Road in Queensbury. It stands out that the company are drawing water from the property and loads it to a packaging plant at the former St. Alphonsus Roman Catholic Church at 31 Broad St. in Glens Falls.
Based on the company's Official Website, the firm aims on providing water that is responsibly sourced, produced and packaged for improved environmental and community impact. The firm aims on rendering service to nature by ensuring sustainability and renewable resources.
In relation to that, the dismissal of the case filed against their operations signifies the company's aims and visions. It is also a winning moment for the Town Board as the verdict frees them from irresponsible management. The resolution also proved that the board was able to oversee and protect the town's interest to the best of their abilities.
