What's At Stake?
Our History
The proposed development is not just another building project; it is a threat to what makes Irvington special.
An Historic Landmark Faces Demolition
The beautiful 1850 Woodcliff Mansion (also known as Maxon) is an irreplaceable piece of Irvington’s history. It is the birthplace of J.P. Morgan, Jr. and epitomizes the character of our village. Big Varma plans to demolish this historic treasure, along with the beautiful, historic stone wall that lines North Broadway
An "Ugly Barracks" That Doesn’t Belong
The proposed 50+ unit apartment building and day care center is jarringly out-of-place. Its industrial look clashes with the surrounding residential architecture. This development will be a permanent eyesore for every resident and visitor.
Community Impact
- Massive scale: 50+ apartments, a 176-child daycare center, and an oversized parking lot.
- Traffic Chaos: The increased density will result in significant traffic congestion on both North Broadway and Main Street.
- Zero Respect for Community: Big Varma has demonstrated it does not care about Irvington’s architecture, character, or history; only about maximizing profit with a project misplaced in a residential zone.
