Yonkers Mayor Phil Amicone is finishing up the first-day of a two-day trip to the nation’s capitol. The visit has the mayor meeting with administation officials and members of Congress in the hope of bringing federal economic stimulus dollars back to Yonkers.
Back in January, Amicone issued a $645 million wish list put together by city and school officials. Among the funding requests is $45 million to fund the downtown baseball stadium that is part of Struver Fidelco Cappelli’s River Park Center plan. The total construction-funding wish list comprises $321 million in city
projects and $324 million in school projects.
Among those Amicone will be meeting with are Housing and Urban Development Deputy Secretary Ron Sims; Reps. Nita Lowey, D-Harrison, and Eliot Engel, D-Bronx; and former upstate Congressman Republican Bill Paxon, who served as a senior advisor for Rudolph Giuliani’s bid for the GOP Presidential nomination last year.
