New Rochelle Resident Questions Cappelli IDA Tax Breaks

I am a citizen of New Rochelle deeply concerned with the Industrial Development Agency's recent decision to grant Cappelli Enterprises a substantial tax abatement/PILOT. This tax break is explicitly for the costs of reconfiguring New Roc City for retail use. Who is minding the store? Who's job is it to scrutinize these sweet deals?

Facts Missing From SFC Public Hearing: Letter in the Journal News

At Wednesday's public hearing on Yonkers' downtown development, representatives of community organizations advocated that the City Council commit ASAP to the downtown development project. They espoused the claimed benefits; however, did they mention the immediate additional general operating and debt liability cost that the taxpayers will have to pay over the next several years? Did they they say how long it will take before the new development projects will generate enough revenue to offset the additional municipal general and capital expenses? They did not mention that the council is aware it will have to seek more taxes from the average Yonkers resident this year and in each of the following years.
