The Vote Is Over — The Vision Moves Forward

Rivertown Center Grand Island: The Approved, Walkable Town Center

Rivertown Center Grand Island marks a new chapter for the community. After residents voted down the $10 million bond proposal for the remote Alvin Road site, attention now turns to the approved, cost-effective plan designed to fulfill Grand Island’s long-term vision for a true Town Center.

A Message from Frank Chinnici, President of Legacy Development

“Tuesday’s vote shows that residents are paying attention — they want smart, responsible growth and a true Town Center that brings people together without adding unnecessary debt.

The Town’s Comprehensive Plan has always envisioned a connected, walkable community hub — and that’s exactly what Rivertown Center Grand Island delivers. It’s already approved, centrally located, and designed to include space for the new Community and Athletic Centers at a fraction of the cost of the alternative site.

Now that voters have spoken, we have a real opportunity to come together around a solution that makes sense for both residents and the Town’s long-term future. Rivertown Center Grand Island is ready when the Town is.”
