Yonkers is considering an amendment to their zoning code that could impact traffic on the Jackson Ave. corridor, 9A, Hastings and Ardsley.
They have proposed an amendment to their zoning ordinance to permit 255,000 square feet of additional retail to be built at the Austin Avenue development (undeveloped land near Costco, Home Depot and Stew Leonard’s). They also have proposed 400 units of residential apartments at the site. Copies of the positive declaration the Town has received from the City of Yonkers for the proposed PMD zone change and Austin Avenue redevelopment next to the Stew Leonard's site will be shared with residents who request copies.

The Yonkers Planning Board has scheduled the Scoping Session for the project on Wednesday, March 13, 2013, at 7:00 PM in the City Council Chambers.
Our planning department is reviewing the draft scope. The town has not been successful in preventing previous developments on the Yonkers/Greenburgh border. However, the Ridge Hill developers agreed (as part of a settlement) to pay for $5 million in road safety improvements on Greenburgh roads near the Ridge Hill development.

IF YOU HAVE BEEN OUT OF WORK FOR MORE THAN 2 YEARS DON’T GET DISCOURAGED… see nice note from woman who just got hired!
Over 4 years ago I set up a job club—I share lots of job openings with residents who subscribe to the e list (at least a few times a week). Some people are lucky and have found work. Others haven’t. Don’t get discouraged if you’ve been out of work for a while. Received this nice note last week from a constituent who has been out of work for two and a half years. She is now employed! If you want to subscribe to the e list, please send me an e mail. I also set up a job site on www.linkedin.com (greenburgh jobs group).
