As Westchester’s largest city and the third largest in New York State, the City of Yonkers has experienced a decade of economic growth. Under the leadership of Mayor Mike Spano, Yonkers has emerged as one of the most dynamic urban centers in the Tri-state Region, attracting real estate developers such as Extell, Avalon, RXR and AMS. In the past ten years, Yonkers has attracted nearly $5 billion in private investment, creating nearly 12,500 units of new and improved housing of which nearly 22% have been affordable. Yonkers has also become an exciting hub for TV and motion picture production with the opening of the new 500,000 s/f Lionsgate Studio complex, the largest TV and film production center on the East Coast. In addition to economic growth, Yonkers has made significant gains in public education, retailing, affordable housing, sustainability and the arts. The result is a better quality of life for all Yonkers residents.  

The dinner will also feature the winners of the Best of BOMA Westchester County Signature Awards and the Unsung Hero Award.
