YONKERS TRIBUNE LETTER: Yonkers: A City at A Standstill


“Yonkers is undergoing an economic renaissance with more than $1 billion in development under way. According to the city’s Department of Planning and Development, Yonkers has more than 5,000 multi-family residential units recently completed, under construction and approved for development.

The city’s hotel market is also booming with approximately 1,200 rooms. Since 2012, the Department of Planning and Development has been responsible for winning 13 grants valued at more than $10 million and has administered a total of more than $40 million of existing grants during the past four years.”
Mayor Mike Spano has saturated the media with the latest version of his Yonkers branding efforts, “Generation Yonkers,” which seeks “to reposition Yonkers as the next great urban frontier.”
