Community First! Development Coalition was established in April 2005 as a collaborative support network of Yonkers civic leaders, neighborhood associations and community groups from throughout the city facing common concerns about economic redevelopment. By sharing our knowledge and experiences with each other, Yonkers residents have begun to forge alliances around common interests that strengthen our ability to shape the future of our city.

I attended the screening at the Pratt Institute last night. Cookie Cutter is my best description of this documentary and the discussion that followed the screening. Exactly what is happening here in Brooklyn, happened in Yonkers with the Ridge Hill Project. More on the screening later.
Isabel Hill the director is willing to show this in Yonkers. It's a must see movie. To whet your appetite check out the trailer on the Brooklyn Matters website.
