GREAT NEWS--TOWN SELLS WATERWHEEL PROPERTY FOR $1.2 MILLION--CLOSING TOOK PLACE YESTERDAY
Release Date: May 09, 2013

Some more great news for the town! Yesterday the town closed on the sale of the waterwheel property in Ardsley for $1.2 million. Chase just confirmed that $1,060,000 from the waterwheel transaction has been wired into our town bank account. The developer gave the town a deposit years ago covering the balance.The town took ownership of the property as a result of a foreclosure.and has been working with the village of Ardsley for over 5 years on turning the property (which is located across from Macy Park) into affordable housing. 17 units of affordable housing will comply with the federal housing stipulation. And five units will be allocated for workforce housing –targeting volunteer fire fighters, ambulance corp members.
I am thrilled that construction of the affordable housing will start soon. It took a long time but when the affordable housing is built, I think most people in our town will agree that the wait was worth it! A special thanks for former Ardsley Mayor Jay Leon who worked long and hard to persuade county, town, village officials, residents of Ardsley of the importance of building affordable housing.

TOWN TO VOTE TOMORROW FOR SALE OF WATERWHEEL PROPERTY FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Release Date: July 14, 2010
The Greenburgh Town Board will vote tomorrow evening (Wed) on the sale of the waterwheel property for affordable/workforce housing. The town acquired this property due to a foreclosure. Members of the Board have expressed the desire, over the years, to use foreclosed property like this for a good public purpose. The Village of Ardsley, Ardsley Fire dept & ambulance corp have been supportive of this sale. Although the town owns the land - the property is located within the borders of the village of Ardsley. All land use decisions concerning the property will be made by the village. The 17 affordable units will comply with the federal housing stipulation the county signed last year.

A copy of the contract is posted on the town website: www.greenburghny.com
