“At a time when the overall economy is struggling, we in the business
community can’t think of a single redevelopment project that is as critically
important to the future of Yonkers and the entire regional economy as the SFC
proposal, “ said William M. Mooney, Jr., WCA President. “In both size
and scope, this plan holds the most promise for bringing redevelopment
to downtown Yonkers along with opportunities for long-term employment,

landscape. But, with financing in place for the SFC plan, any further delay
in the vote could put the future economic vitality of downtown Yonkers in
jeopardy.The approval to move the SFC project forward will serve as a very
bright beacon of hope for both the City of Yonkers and the entire
Westchester community,” Mooney stated.
