Ridge Hill development debate intensifies
The Journal News
by Michael Gannon
Ratner's Ridge Hill Village proposal in Yonkers is being scrutinized by residents and public officials in a slew of public meetings. Lack of transparency, inflated estimates of benefits to the city, the role of the quasi-governmental Ridge Hill Development Corporation and promises broken to nearby residents are breeding mistrust of the Ratner and his political supporters.
NoLandGrab: At least the Yonker's project is undergoing a real local public process, which is not happening in Brooklyn. Maybe if FCR had known that they would face so much local opposition, they would have done things differently.
