We are almost there...
Yonkers residents will get an additional 2 1/2 weeks to comment on the Struever Fidelco Cappelli $1.6 billion redevelopment plan of Downtown Yonkers. This plan entails the development of over 500 acres of the city. The goal is to reposition Yonkers as a regional destination, employment center and vibrant urban environment. AMAZING!
Mayor Phil Amicone doesn't seem to be too happy with the delay by the City Council. The mayor had called for the City Council to move on the project "as quickly as possible". I agree... City Council President Chuck Fresnic hopes the delay will give American Sugar Rifining the time it needs to complete its study. American Sugar Refining operates the Domino sugar plant on the Hudson River in Southwest Yonkers. The problem is that this plant is stones throw away from the proposed two 25 story SFC developed towers. The plant processes 4 million pounds of sugar which the new residents won't be too happy about! This could put their business in jeopardy.
Good luck Yonkers!!
As usual comments and suggestions are always welcomed...
