WPCNR COMMON COUNCIL CHRONICLE-EXAMINER. By John F. Bailey. CORRECTION, September 6, 2002: The designers of the dynamic fountains of Disneyworld and Epcot Center showcased their design for a new fountain plaza and concert space in the heart of the White Plains downtown Thursday evening at a Common Council work session.
NEW FOUNTAIN PLAZA DAZZLES COUNCIL: The view of the new fountain as seen from Macy's, looking East towards the City Center. On the left is Main Street, to the right is 14 Mamaroneck Avenue, owned by Marc Ellman of 14 Mamaroneck Avenue LLC. It is also the headquarters of the Business Improvement District property. (Not owned by Leon Silverman as previously reported.) Planned for the fountain are a low lying planted buffer bordering Main Street on the left, a spectacular fountain in the upper right near a kiosk for a possible Starbucks or upscale restaurant. The centerpiece of the design is a series of fountains that will shoot colorful spectacular ropes, and streams of water in mesmerizing water shows to recorded music at all times of the day, late into the evening. The three grass greens in the right foreground are planned for outdoor concerts. The city is budgeting the project at $3 million to $3.5 Million dollars, and is now in negotiations with public and private funding sources to float the project. The project is planned to be completed by October 2003 to coordinate with the opening of the City Center. Sasaki Associates of Watertown, Mass., and fountain designer Aquatic Design & Engineering of Montverde, Florida presented the concept Thursday evening and the Common Council was favorably impressed.
