The project has reached a critical level of public visibility. I am currently coordinating a meeting with city planning officials to present this list of supporters as evidence of community demand for the Broad Street development.

This is a great use of the site, and the traffic, parking and other concerns can be mitigated with minimal impact.
This is a signature building which will draw other high quality developers to Mount Vernon
This will strengthen our taxbase while simultaneously providing much needed relief to our merchants. Hopefully this is the first of several luxury buildings in Mount Vernon. We should not continue to be the dumping ground for Westchester
Please make sure that the Industrial Development Agency provides jobs for Mt. Vernon residents on this site. The IDA has the right AND responsibility to do this.
I strongly support this project and see the big picture for the city of Mount Vernon. I hope that the developers and contractors hire local residence to help build the project. I would also like to see diversity among the workers, especially African American. Too often I see Italian, Irish, white, non black contractors along with Latino workers. Granted all workers cannot be from Mount Vernon, however, an effort should be made to recruit local individuals from the community , especially from the south side.
I think we're ready to grow. I pray we are
This will be a great attraction for the city of mt. Vernon

On balance, I think this project will be good for Mt Vernon. It's critical that the promised traffic flow optimization commitments are implemented.
