Debate Over Relocation of New Rochelle Public Works Yard Heats Up
“Ten businesses have organized themselves as New Rochelle United Against Eminent Domain, a group opposed to a plan to move the New Rochelle Public Works yard to East Place, near Flowers Park on Fifth Avenue. The group, led by Maria La Rocca of Flavio La Rocca and Sons, issued a statement raising various objections to the proposal.
The group issued a statement claiming there would be a public hearing on the proposal on Tuesday, December 2nd, at 7:30pm where the City Council would consider designating the City of New Rochelle lead agency for the project. There was no such hearing scheduled but there was a Citizens to be Heard session where several people spoke on the subject of moving the City Yard to East Place near City Park.”
