As Westchester’s largest city and the third largest in New York State, the City of Yonkers has experienced a decade of economic growth.

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.
