WPCNR MR. & MRS. & MS. WHITE PLAINS VOICE. April 24, 2006: A reader doing some idle math this morning, asks how the city comes up with $2 Billion of development in the last four years:
Dear John,
In this morning's "Journal News," a story on the White Plains budget referred to $2-billion in new construction projects during Mayor Delfino's last term, which would be years 2001-2005. I've heard that $2-billion number before. Has City Hall ever provided a complete list of the projects which total $2-billion? It would be interesting to see if they'd give you, a reporter, a complete list. I've tried making my own list, but it doesn't come to anywhere near $2-billion worth. Maybe I'm missing a few projects here and there. It would be good to find out precisely what City Hall is talking about.
