YONKERS, NY: Community And Con Ed agree to fence on Yonkers Substation

Community And Con Ed agree to fence on Yonkers Substation.

In what is a positive move for our city. The Community, Con Ed & the Yonkers City Council agree on a fence for the Yonkers substation.

Hopefully, this is the beginning of a spirit of cooperation between the community & it’s elected officials on the Yonkers City Council. A lot of credit goes to leaders like Ann Vizzini, other community members & also council members Patricia McDow & Dee Barbato who worked with the community on their concerns. This could be a great legacy & a new spirit of cooperation coming out of the lessons learned on the Ridge Hill Village Project. This new spirit will also come because of the great leadership of our City Council President Chuck Lesnick.

We also need to have an energy source, but also need to satisfy the concerns of the public as well. This is a great balance between Community .& Business interest. This is when gov’t works. When the citizens & elected officials work together. Also the leadership of Council Person Dee Barbato can’t be underestimated in this issue.

She brought the concerns of the public to the City Council & helped foster this agreement with Con Edison.
