FASNY: Public Hearings Begin on School Development Project
Among other proposals, the school says it is planning to make busing of students mandatory to help cut down on traffic.
White Plains residents on both sides of the issue spoke before the City Council earlier this week on the proposed development at the defunct Ridgeway Country Club by the French American School of New York.
The Westchester County Business Journal reports that the proposed school would generate more than $1 million in annual tax revenue to the city, but that opposition still remains over the traffic and the project’s size and scope.
School officials have amended the proposal to cap the enrollment at 950 students, instead of 1,200, and are making additional moves in an attempt to mitigate residents’ concerns.
The public hearings are slated to continue in August and September, writes reporter Leif Skodnick.
