Waterfront Redevelopment Could Begin Next Spring

YONKERS-As the city begins the review of the partnership’s recently submitted 3,000-page environmental review of the city’s waterfront, an official with the venture says that if all approvals are received in the time frame expected, construction could begin on the first phase of the waterfront redevelopment project by spring 2008.

On July 11 Struever Fidelco Cappelli, LLC submitted a 3,000-page Draft Environmental Impact Statement covering several million square feet of possible development for a section of the downtown waterfront district. Struever Fidelco Cappelli, LLC consists of: the Fidelco Realty Group of Millburn, NJ, Cappelli Enterprises of Valhalla, NY and Struever Bros. Eccles & Rose of Baltimore.

The DEIS is part of the partnership’s proposed $1.5-billion first phase of a projected more than $3-billion cleanup and redevelopment of the Yonkers waterfront district.
