FASNY: THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES

Finally White Plains, The Emperor's New Clothes are revealed.  

Thousands of pages of documents, lies, public relations spin, behind-the-scenes meetings with public officials, campaign contributions to the mayor and sitting council members, public outcry at public hearings and a wealthy outside tax-exempt developer FASNY.   FASNY is pitted against concerned neighborhood associations fighting the battle of White Plains.  

FASNY's Conservancy is a TROJAN HORSE and a sham.  The proposed North Street entrance road eviscerates the fragile ecosystem of this very wet property complete with uncharted underground streams. 

For the first time, take a look, a careful look at what FASNY will really look like with its nursery, lower, middle and upper schools on its campus complete with performance center, athletic facilities, playing fields and play grounds.  230,863 square feet of building ( equivalent in size to 4plus Super Stop and Shops ) crammed into a bucolic award-winning residential White Plains neighborhood,  Gedney Farms.  To make this Rube Goldberg project 'fit', a city street, Hathaway Lane, is demapped.

Voice your opposition to this inappropriate development  in a residential neighborhood. The City is at a crossroads, voice your opposition by contacting City Hall: CITYOFWHITEPLAINS.com, use social media, talk to your neighbors and friends. It is NOT a done deal despite what FASNY spins.
