The Westchester Brief | 10.28.26: Which Rules Govern the Meadows?
Description
A 23-house project in Mount Pleasant has been under review for five years. Mount Pleasant amended its steep slope rules in September, and the town's planning consultant says the plan must be resubmitted. The developer's attorney says it should be judged as filed. What is settled, what is not, and what to watch.
Also: 250 years since the Battle of White Plains.
