The builders of the 294-unit Hudson Park apartment complex on the waterfront in Yonkers used the ribbon-cutting for the completion of the second phase of the development to announce a third phase is in the works.

Pending city approval, the developer plans next year to build another luxury apartment tower of up to 22 stories and 150 to 180 rental units, said Arthur Collins II, co-founding principal of Stamford, Conn.-based Collins Enterprises. Collins said the project, on an undeveloped quarter-acre parcel just north of Hudson Park North, will cost “close to $100 million.” see more

The theater is commonly known as the Pelham Picture House and that name will remain on its historic facade after renovations – slated to begin a year from now and to last about 10 months – are complete. The Picture House slogan says it all: Life, Art, Popcorn.

This time, instead of Ralph Gregory gathering the community to tackle a problem it was the community that convened to celebrate his retirement from United Way of Westchester and Putnam – with speeches, official proclamations, retirement gifts and praise for his 26 years of service to the two counties. The Jan. 10 reception at the Westchester Renaissance was packed with friends, family, colleagues, volunteers, government representatives and business people. United Way’s Chairman Harry Bright was master of ceremonies, as County Executive Andy Spano, Congresswoman Nita Lowey, United Way of America CEO Brian Gallagher on videotape, and others spoke of Gregory’s impact on the lives of people in Westchester and Putnam. Gregory garnered laughs when he described the transition to retirement as going from a “Who’s Who” to “Who’s he?” He will continue as president and CEO until Feb. 25, when Naomi L. Adler takes the reins.
