Open Letter to New Rochelle City Council on Moving City Yard

By Henry Camardella on Tue, 02/21/2012 - 13:06

Mr Mayor, Councilmen, and Women

I would like you to note my opposition to the bond issue tonight.

My thoughts are as follows:

There is no agreement on the existing waterfront property as yet. There is no agreement on moving the DPW, and we may face legal challenges. To spend $600,000 at this time would be irresponsible.

I also believe the DPW Yard would be an unfair burden on West New Rochelle residents. And has anyone of you considered how marketable the land will be adjacent to the Westchester County sewage plant.

I have not spoke to a single person in favor of moving the City Yard in New Rochelle.

I propose a referendum in November let the people decide.

After all Government Is For the people By the People is it not in New Rochelle?

One problem Henry--the City idiots have already dished out $5 mil for the Beechwood property. Do you think there is another sucker who will buy it for that kind of money? Only in NR.

Bob McCaffrey: Echo Bay Development? What We Have Here is a Failure to Communicate

Bob McCaffrey calls on the New Rochelle City Council to allow the Echo Bay MOU with Forest City/Ratner to expire to clear the way to consider alternative plans for both the New Rochelle Armory and the City-owned waterfront acreage along Echo Bay.
