Show Your Support! Our Chance, Our Choice: The Future of Downtown Nyack
We, the undersigned, support the initiative to build a new performing arts center on Main Street in downtown Nyack. The new Riverspace will be funded by a moderately-scaled retail and
residential green development whose profits will go to the construction and ongoing support of the new performing arts center. The downtown project is an unprecedented opportunity to create
a vital, beautiful and prosperous center in the heart of Nyack and Rockland County. Sign Here

Riverspace Meets With Our Neighbors at Nyack Senior Center |
|
|

"I've lived here forty years and I want to see this beautiful dream come true in my lifetime."
That's what Domingo Marrero said after learning about Riverspace’s proposal for a new theater and redevelopment of Nyack’s Main Street. Mr. Marrero, age 87, was one of more than 30 seniors
who responded enthusiastically to our presentation at the Nyack Senior Center. In 1969, Mr. Marrero was the first person to move into Tallman Towers. He thinks the proposal would be the
most positive change to come to Nyack in his four decades here.
The seniors were excited about the new theater, particularly the idea of a rooftop restaurant allowing for an evening out in one place. For those who are mobile, the added services and
shopping were appealing. Several seniors helped us brainstorm about how to make the development senior-friendly, including more plays, matinees, outreach entertainment and shuttle services
at night.
Riverspace is committed to working with the Nyack Senior Center, the residents of Nyack Plaza, the Village Board, and all our neighbors to revitalize downtown Nyack and improve the quality
of life in our home Village. Please contact Julian Palmer at jpalmer@riverspace.org or (845) 348-0741 to learn more about how you can be involved
in making “our beautiful dream come true.”
