The center is estimated to bring 60 jobs to the town.

YORKTOWN, NY — A distribution center that could bring 60 jobs to Yorktown was approved by the planning board at a recent meeting. The approval will allow Nestlé Waters to end a longtime vacancy at the former Verizon building at 3775 Crompond Road.
Nestlé Water has proposed renovating the 1.9-acre property's existing building and parking lot for its office and distribution uses.
The complex was built in 1956 and last renovated in 1988, according to Loopnet.com.
