by Betsy McCormick and Rose Arce After nearly 15 years of planning, signi'cant progress is finally being made toward the con- staiction of Fordham Plaza. The Plaza will be located on land across from Fordham Univer- sity between Washington and Third Avenues. "Our hope is that by mid-February or early March the area will be totally cleared, and in June or July you should really be able to see something going on down there," said Michael Durso, Secretary of the Fordham Road Area Redevelopment Agency. Fordham Plaza, a joint venture of the New York State Urban Development Corporation (PDC), and the Chase Group, was finally able to move ahead in its planning following the sale of the projected constructions site by the U.S. Post Office to the UDC last March. According to Jerry Kaidanow, a Chase Group partner, the PDC has applied for a $50 million Urban Development Action loan through (lie federal government. The Chase Group will assume 50 percent of the mortgage and the UDC and PDC the other 50 percent. Kaidanow said ap- proval of the loan is expected by early spring. "Fordham University is a very important part of this whole puzzle," Kaidanow said. "Father Finlay has given his personal and public support of (he project for the past 15 years. Without his support Fordham Plaza could not be where it is. Not as far as equity, but as far as support, Fordham is a partner." In October of 1974, Finlay threatened New York Senators Jacob Javits, James Buckley and Congressman Jonathan Bingham with moving the undergraduate Rose Hill campus to Univer- sity-owned land_ in Westchester County if the Plaza plans weren't expedited soon. Finlay and other University leaders saw the construction of the shopping center as a major asset to For- dham. The area was termed "blighted" and in a state of further decay by area leaders and school officials. The reclamation of five acres seemed a much needed start towards renovating the surrounding community. Controversy has surrounded the proposal since it was first suggested for building by area Congressman Herman Badillo (D-Bronx) Blocks officials in 1973. Initially, the proposal entailed a land trade-off between the city and the federal Plaza Construction in 1976 government. This land was originally blocked off by the federal government as a possible site for a post office. Studies done on the proposal estimated that the new plaza would bring 3000 Fund. Problems then arose, however, over the jobs to the Bronx and generate $1.2 million in cost of the land with the Postal Service. taxes.
