I hope that after the tax break Bloomberg stays here and not pull up stakes and move to another area…Read More to get more tax breaks. Ironic how one of the richest men and one of the most profitable companies in the world would only move here if it receives tax breaks. As the old saying goes, the rich get richer.....

It isn't just the school district giving them a tax break. The town would be as well, which is why…Read More it had to sign off on the deal. That is in report above.
It is not uncommon for school districts and municipalities to offer inducements like this to bring in businesses that increase tax revenue. The Pearl River School District is projecting tax revenue increases on the property all through the years of the agreement, even in the beginning when the adjustment is at its highest.

Walgreens ???? What a stupid idea. We have cvs, shoprite, dollar general. What's the point ! Who…Read More is running this town. At least make the landlord give the plaza a much needed facelift, it's becoming an eye sore.

The good part is that New City Bowl is making accommodations for the league bowlers the are being…Read More displaced.
It is sad, however, that with willing and able buyers of the lanes, that an agreement could not be made to allow a new buyer to invest many thousand dollars to upgrade an existing business in the Pearl River Community. Instead, all we have is competition with another chain store. So much for keeping the (little) small guys in business! Shame on Rosen Associates

I agree 100%. I was there as well last Sat. and brought my high school age daughter. Most of her…Read More White Plains High School friends were there with their families. It was a great day for everyone.

Rob Astorino claims "Families don't go to Playland anymore." But when I was there on a…Read More rainy cold opening day on Saturday, I was SURROUNDED by nothing but families - even HIS family was there. They all came out in the lousy weather to have a good time. Parents and kids and grandparents and every combo of aunt uncle cousin etc. you could imagine, all different colors, ethnicities, cultural backgrounds, many different languages being spoken, everyone happy to see the place open again, getting along, smiling, having a good time. I think I was about the only person there who *wasn't* with kids. Families families families. But...don't you know...families don't go to Playland anymore? People love Playland. They want to see it brought back to life as a vibrant amusement park, not dismantled for a grassy field and indoor sports facility.

You must be the only person in Westchester that doesn't have wonderful feelings/memories about…Read More Playland. It is so sad.

Just what I don't want... a person of low moral character who is going to stick a needle into my…Read More arm, and who has access to all my confidential medical information.
The attorney general is WRONG on this.

Rex doesn't know what he's talking about or is an obvious mall shill. The escalators shut themselves…Read More off at least 90% of the time due to comb impacts, step upthrusts, handrail inlet guard collisions, etc.
You should be more worried that the security guards are the ones tasked with turning them back on. Do you trust that the security guards are trained in escalator troubleshooting? Because it looks like they just turn them off and on again whenever they shut down.

Just wonder why media tries to destroy someone before there is a judicial outcome. A lot of…Read More homeowners watch. 30 min episode of flip that house and think they know it all. Had a homeowner complain that the water coming off the roof into the gutter was too noisy or another complain
Don't rush to bash these evil contractors that just go around ripping people off If pete ends up innocent will they put the homeowners pic in the paper and do a story on how to ruin someones life ? Won't hold my breath
