158-unit affordable housing at former White Plains Linen site

Peekskill

Summary

The Stag Group's workforce housing project includes a daycare and an arts center, but several commissioners think the six-story massing is too much for this transitional block — especially narrow Constant Avenue — and want it scaled back before recommending it to the council.

Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

The project only pencils with LIHTC and state subsidies; major downsizing could make it financially unviable, developers warned.

✅Who benefits

Workforce families needing below-market rents, parents needing daycare, and local artists would all gain.

⚠️Who could be affected

Neighbors on Constant Avenue and North Division face shadow, traffic, and delivery-truck impacts from a building many say towers over two-and-a-half-story homes.
