Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano is calling on SUNY to expand and set up a second campus for Westchester Community College.
Currently, Rising Ground owns 32 sprawling acres in Yonkers. The nonprofit used to be an orphanage and now offers various services to local children.
However, it recently announced plans to sell the property, and Mayor Mike Spano says SUNY should jump at the chance to buy it and partner with WCC.
"This is the largest single track of land that's left in the city," he said.
