Rye Playland report delayed

Posted by: Andrew Klappholz - Posted in Rye, waterfront on Jul 29, 2011

A citizen’s group, which has been reviewing proposals for the historic Playland amusement park site, will not have its report finished by Aug. 1 as its members have hoped.

Peter Tartaglia, a spokesman for the county park, said today that the report likely won’t be completed until late August at the earliest. There has been no rush on the committee during this process, so the news isn’t really considered a setback, he said.

At a recent meeting, the committee indicated it would lean toward a hybrid approach of the dozen proposals, suggesting that certain aspects of some of them would work individually — as opposed to just giving a wholesale endorsement of a particular plan.

The plans were sought by County Executive Robert Astorino after years of losing money at the waterfront sight.
