Back to EpisodesThe Westchester Brief | 08.06.26: Three Cities, Three Bets on What a Downtown Should Be
Description
Yonkers just broke ground on a $185 million mixed-use project and landed Wayfair's first New York store. White Plains just approved a 12-unit luxury condo building instead of another tower. New Rochelle is still building toward a waterfront district that won't open until 2029. This episode compares three of Westchester County's anchor cities' downtown strategies side by side for the first time.
