County Executive & Developer John Fareri Sign
North 60 Lease Agreement at
WCA Annual Breakfast
|
Last week at the WCA's Annual Breakfast, Westchester County Executive George Latimer week signed a 99-year lease agreement for the North 60 project. The agreement for the county-owned land is the key to the development of a $1.2 billion biotech and life sciences project on the Grasslands Reservation in Valhalla.
“It is clear that the County Executive and the Board of Legislators have made economic development a priority,” WCA President & CEO Bill Mooney said. “This project will go a long way to solidifying our region’s brand as a hub of innovation in healthcare and life sciences. The WCA has long supported the development of the North 60 as a means to bring together academia, healthcare, life sciences and technology. It will provide meaningful opportunities for economic development, innovation and collaboration. I commend John Fareri for his vision, perseverance and passion for healthcare and life sciences in our region.”
