"Enough is enough," says Chappaqua Crossing's Geoff Thompson, who explains that the suits seek damages, the ability to put more commercial tenants on the property, and the ability to build housing units.
"We have 22 different versions of the plans that the town has required us to do," says Thompson. "It really becomes abusive and the developers just finally said 'Let the courts take a look at this situation and what's happened to us.'."
Meanwhile, calls to town have not been returned.
