Access and Preservation of the Open Space

Contribution of Valuable Open Space to the City worth approximately $8 Million

The FASNY plan calls for a low-density, park-like campus that will preserve 60 acres of permanent, publicly accessible open space. This will almost double the amount of designated comparable publically accessible open space now available in the City of White Plains. The form of such open space will be determined during the public review process by the various stakeholders in the process. It could consist of a conservation easement held by a land trust, a public park owned by the City, or another similar arrangement.

FASNY is already improving the property simply by halting the excessive continuous irrigation and the use of pesticides and herbicides.
