The proposed RSS project is wrong for the Sixth Ward and wrong for Oneonta!

Have you heard of the RSS project planned for River Street?

Are you aware of the impact it will have on the 6th Ward and the City of Oneonta?

Did you know that if this project goes through, your property/school taxes will increase?

Did you know that this isn't the first time they've tried to get this project pushed through? Or the first place in Oneonta?

RSS (Rehabilitation Support Services) bought property on River Street in the 6th Ward of Oneonta. Recently, it came to the community's attention that after being rejected by the business and property owners downtown, and after trying to push this project through in 2019, RSS is back at it. Unfortunately, it seems that they are back at it with support from the city government and limited transparency about what exactly is going to happen on the property and how it will impact the community. While RSS says it's low-income housing, that isn't the full truth. Oneonta needs affordable, low-income housing. We need support services. But we also need transparency from RSS and the city government to make sure that is what we are getting.

If you're willing to make your voice heard, to help us demand answers from RSS and the city, to stand up for the 6th Ward and Oneonta itself, please contact us.

The Sixth Ward Neighbors United needs your help. We are working to stop the proposed RSS project, but we cannot do it alone.
