Did you know that during the 1920’s, the Saw Mill River was “buried” under parts of downtown Yonkers? Plans are underway to daylight it – making it accessible for the entire community to enjoy.
The Friends of the Saw Mill River is a group of business people, civic and environmental organizations, community groups, and residents of Yonkers who enthusiastically support the Daylighting of the Saw Mill because it:
- Will beautify the downtown
- Is environmentally friendly
- Creates jobs, commerce, and business opportunities
- Enables Yonkers to join leading 21st century cities like San Antonio and Providence which completed similar projects
- Is a project for which sources of funding have already been identified and is considered “shovel ready.”
Please join us in making this a priority for 2010 and beyond.
