DEVELOPER PRESENTATION -- Hear what SFC has to say about the future of business in downtown Yonkers
Developer Struever Fidelco Cappelli (SFC) is hosting another in a series of community meetings about the proposed redevelopment of downtown Yonkers. This time the meeting is focused on the Yonkers Downtown/Waterfront Business Improvement District and will include information about:
Economic benefits for local businesses
Use of tax increment financing for public improvements
The future of doing business in downtown Yonkers
What: SFC Presentation
When: Wednesday, Feb. 28, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
Where: Yonkers Riverfront Library Auditorium, One Larkin Plaza, Yonkers
We applaud SFC for holding these meetings and opening them to the public. But we also believe that we must constantly remind the developers that the citizens of Yonkers are paying attention. People in other cities have in some cases stayed on the sidelines and watched mega-development projects destroy the special character of a community in the name of "economic benefits for local business."
We can't let that happen here.
I hope you can make the meeting, and I hope you can bring some friends. The developers need to see that lots of Yonkers residents care about the future of their downtown.
Sincerely,
Ned Sullivan
