The mysterious proposed development appears to be a step beyond the types of ethnic enclaves scattered throughout U.S. cities, like the Chinatown sections of New York City or San Francisco. The 600-acre "China City of America" is located far outside New York City in upstate New York's wetlands and is a meticulously planned project, calling for family housing, a college and student residences, among other structures. In addition to needing federal approval, it would likely need a host of state and local permits before ground could be broken.
If approved, every province in China would have an office there and foreign investors funding the development would receive green cards for their $500,000 checks under the EB-5 program designed to lure foreign investment, according to the Center for Immigration Studies, a conservative organization staunchly opposed to the project.
A detailed report authored by David North, a fellow with the Washington-based group, claimed there is "a charge from within the Chinese community that China City is a stalking horse for the Chinese communist government in Beijing." He claimed he was told one group raised objections with the USCIS.

Don't know about the politics...but the food would be great!
Sounds a little like Blade Runner.

Thompson, NY is where the famous Kutshers Country Club of Dirty Dancing fame is located (and is for sale I hear).
I wonder if that is the property in question.

Such a project would certainly inject a HUGE amount of economic enthusiasm into that area (read "cash").
And the General Tso's chicken at Walmart would actually improve (and I think it is already pretty darned good).

China has about 100,000,000 extra men, looking for women.
They're going to need another city for homely girls nearby.

I heard that eventually there will be at least one of these “communities” in every state (yep, all 57 of them ;-). If I want to learn about Chinese culture, I’ll go to China. Don’t want them living here and getting freebies on our dime, thank you very much.

My son informs me that a proper translation would be
the first two characters are song and pond
and the last two are spring garden
and the middle one is victory
so nothing about poop
at all
