West Haverstraw warehouse review advances as public hearing is set
A proposed 454,000-square-foot warehouse and distribution center in West Haverstraw has advanced in the environmental-review process after the village Planning Board accepted a Draft Environmental Impact Statement, or DEIS.
The acceptance allows the review to continue. It does not mean the warehouse has been approved.
A public hearing on the project is scheduled for Aug. 12, 2026. Written comments are being accepted through Sept. 10, 2026, giving residents and other members of the Haverstraw-area community a formal opportunity to weigh in before the review proceeds.
What the project could mean locally
The proposed development is in the Village of West Haverstraw, not the incorporated Village of Haverstraw. It would nevertheless directly serve and affect the broader Haverstraw-area community in Rockland County.
The project could bring substantial truck traffic and affect the Route 9 corridor, nearby neighborhoods, emergency response and local infrastructure. The potential effects are not final or quantified in the approved source material; they remain subject to the environmental-review process.
For commuters, nearby residents and local businesses, the Route 9 connection is a central issue because a warehouse and distribution center can generate truck movements associated with deliveries and shipments. The available material does not provide projected truck counts, so the scale of any traffic change cannot yet be stated.
The review also gives residents a process for raising concerns about transportation, neighborhood conditions, infrastructure capacity and emergency response. Comments submitted during the open period will be part of the public opportunity to address the proposal as the review moves forward.
Next dates in the review
The warehouse project’s advancement was reported July 1, 2026, after the Planning Board accepted the DEIS. The hearing and written-comment schedule was reported Aug. 3.
The public hearing is set for Aug. 12, followed by the Sept. 10 deadline for written comments. The source material provided for this report does not identify the hearing venue, the project’s final site address or the developer.
The Village of Haverstraw maintains an official notices and news system at 40 New Main Street in Haverstraw. That municipal identity is separate from West Haverstraw, where the proposed warehouse is located.
Until the environmental review and subsequent municipal decisions are completed, the warehouse remains a proposal. Any final determination about approval, traffic, environmental effects or infrastructure impacts has not been established by the information available here.
