Rye Brook Public Hearing on Reckson Ice Proposal Tonight

At the last public hearing in January, many residents spoke against the plan while a few spoke in favor of the ice arena.

Rye Brook and Greenwich residents expressed deep concern over the traffic impact the 140,000 square-foot arena would have on King Street and on the surrounding neighborhoods. Other issues raised were concerns about hockey players and fans partying and drinking on site, noise, space for emergency vehicles, the watershed and environment, and preserving the current quality of life in Rye.
