game on wants to put sports facility at golf range on dobbs ferry road


GAME ON INDOOR SPORTS FACILITY WANTS TO BUILD SPORTS FACILITY ON VACANT LAND OWNED BY GOLF RANGE ON DOBBS FERRY ROAD
Follow up meeting at 10:30 AM on February 11th

At the January 28th Greenburgh Town Board work session, members of the Town Board heard from representatives of Game On 365 regarding a petition that seeks a zone change to create recreation open space overlay district in the Town that would allow a sports facility to be built at the Dobbs Ferry GOLF Driving range. Game On 365 currently has an option to purchase the driving range property.  The golf range would continue to stay in business. The sports facility would be built on vacant land near the golf range. The proposed site development that would result from the petition is very similar to the proposal the company submitted for the Frank's Nursery property.  At the work session, there were questions regarding the application and the applicant has decided to make some modifications to their petition based on the feedback from the Town Board.   Last year three of the five members of the Town Board voted to ask the Commissioner of Planning to prepare a plan for the rezone of the Dobbs Ferry corridor for recreation uses.

After the February 11th meeting,  the Town will post the revised documents on the town website for public review.

We are continuing to show the Frank's Nursery property to potential purchasers. There is significant interest in that property from different possible purchasers -including recreation uses. We expect to sell the property in the coming months.
