Check out the excellent story about development pressures in Van Cortlandt Village, and about the fine work of FIPNA!

It’s nice to have a serious local newspaper (I think every neighborhood should have one!).
I read this article and was quite impressed with the hard work and perservance that FIPNA has done to prevent over development in the local neighborhood. It is an excellent piece of local news that shows that a middle class neighborhood cares about green streets, grafitti, street trees, flowers and people too!
