Yonkers Industrial Development Agency Program Awards Scholarships to 30 Yonkers High School Seniors

Thirty outstanding Yonkers high school seniors received $125,000 in scholarships today, continuing a program begun in 2000 by the Yonkers Industrial Development Agency (YIDA)

The annual scholarship program was created in 2000 under an agreement between the YIDA, Classic Residence by Hyatt (now the Five Star Premier Residences) and the Wishcamper Group. The two organizations agreed to establish scholarship funds for Yonkers students through 2016 as a condition of receiving construction and renovation incentives for Hyatt’s assisted living facility and for Wishcamper’s Parkledge Apartments project.

From Movies to Move-ins: IDA Helps Theater Become Homes

The former Kimball Movie Theater on Yonkers' east side will be replaced by a 14 story, 220 unit, mixed use residential and retail building. The Yonkers IDA is helping the project happen with a package of incentives.
The Cottage International Development Group will develop the Kimball Residences as market rate rental apartments, and has already obtained needed variances from the City's Zoning Board and approvals from the Planning Board. It expects to begin construction by year's end.
