A $1.6 billion massive development project for the downtown district of Yonkers has encountered a significant deterrence. At the end of May, The Westchester County Planning Board [1] released a report that rejected the Struever Fidelco Cappelli development's environmental impact statement, for its lack of providing the Board with pivotal information.

The SFC project will be a massive venture for development in Downtown Yonkers.Unclear diagrams and illegible writing were just some of the qualms the Board had with the SFC document. The Board also said that the thousands of pages in the statement failed to explain key factors for the project, including a funding through taxation idea.

"No one is against the project or against seeing downtown Yonkers redevelopment. I think there are a lot things the county and the Planning Board felt were missing and things that required clarification," Deputy County Executive Larry Schwartz said to The Journal News [2].

Despite this roadblock, SFC proponents believed that the issue would be worked out and construction would begin by December of this year.
