HNA Project in Palisades to Potentially Add Hundred More Townhomes Than Originally Proposed

by

Delays in plans to re-develop a former conference center in Orangetown could end up making it much different than originally proposed. Plans for the 106-acre parcel sandwiched between Routes 9W and 340 in Palisades that housed the former IBM conference Center, most recently known as HNA, was originally going to feature an updated hotel and conference center, event space, a farm, and between 30 and 40 townhouses. The town board voted unanimously Friday to amend a “memorandum of understanding” giving the California-based developer, REVEIL, the chance to build nearly ten times that number of town homes. Orangetown Supervisor Teresa Kenny says delays in the project were not their fault…

Residents spoke out at last week’s town board meeting about the project…

The first project under the plan would be the rehabilitation of the hotel on the site. A deal to sell the property years ago fell through, causing it to be shuttered during the pandemic, and it’s been rotting away ever since.

Italian Heritage Night Comes to Clover Stadium in Pomona Sunday Celebrating 25th Anniversary of “The Sopranos”

by

Italian Heritage Night is being celebrated at Clover Stadium in Pomona on Sunday coinciding with the 25th Anniversary of “The Sopranos” TV show. As part of the celebration, Steve Schirripa, who starred as Bobby ‘Bacala’ Baccalieri, will be hosting private VIP meet-and-greets before the game. As he recently told “The Morning Show,” there are differences between playing a cop on “Blue Bloods” with Tom Selleck as he does now, to playing a mobster on “The Sopranos…”

You can meet Steve and his dog Willy the Weenie Sunday in a private meet and greet at 2pm. The VIP experience includes a photo and autograph with Steve, a ticket to the game and a catered meal in the suite that includes sausage and peppers, meatballs and baked ziti.

New Jersey Boulders Split Doubleheader Against the New Jersey Jackals

by

The New York Boulders played a double header against the New Jersey Jackals last night in Pomona. The Boulders crushed the Jackals in game one, 11-1. DH David Vinsky and 3rd baseman Assaf Lowengart both homered for the Boulders. In the second game, needing some runs, the Boulders were down 9-5 in the 6th inning when the league’s RBI leader, left fielder David Vinsky, came to the plate with the bases loaded…

And that was Andrew Van Cura with the call on the Boulders Broadcast Network. So, with two outs and two men on base, the Boulders were threatening to tie or win the game, high pressure on the base paths, when this happened…

The Boulders would go on to lose, 9-7. The first-place Boulders start a three-game series tonight at Clover Stadium in Pomona at 7pm against the New England Knockouts. You can hear all the action right here on AM 1700 WRCR and WRCR.com.
