Yorktown Desperately Needs the Help Overlay District Can Provide
As the owner of The Pub, located on Commerce Street in Yorktown Heights, I can tell you that the Yorktown Heights Business District needs help. The kind of help that the Overlay District legislation can provide, and I am officially throwing my full support for this legislation.
COVID-19 has significantly hurt many of our businesses and has heavily impacted my business. I applaud the town’s initiative to attempt to revitalize our main streets by thinking of creative and proven ways to achieve that goal.
The Overlay District legislation will help to revitalize many areas in this district, by providing well-needed attention to so many run-down properties that are simply not appealing to a would-be businessperson looking to start a new business or even an existing business that is looking to relocate.
The Overlay District is also critical to introducing housing alternatives so young people who cannot afford or may not desire to purchase a home can rent here.
No one can deny that our hamlets need help. The Overlay District Legislation is a great step forward!
