White Plains New York Controversy Makes Local News
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- WNBC-TV 4's local news coverage Monday, July 31st
included a news story on the controversy over the LDS Church's proposed
White Plains temple. The building, to be constructed on a 24 acre plot in
Harrison, New York, next to White Plains, is opposed by a group of
neighbors, organized as the group "Homes for Harrison," who feel the
building is too large for the neighborhood.
During the news story, LDS officials got the opportunity to make their case
for the building, which they said would be more than 400 feet away from its
nearest neighbor, and generally protected from view by the wooded area. The
Church also argues that most traffic for the building will be coming from
the highway, I-287, which runs next to the building, instead of from local
residential roads.
But representatives from "Homes for Harrison" argued that the building was
simply too big for the neighborhood, observing that the building would be
"bigger that the Sphinx."
