YCSD is a volunteer organization of private citizens which advocates for smart economic development in Yonkers that balances civic economic gain with respect for the natural environment, social history and varied cultures of the city.

YCSD believes that truly successful development must benefit as many people as possible within a diverse community; that a higher quality of life for all must emphasis maximum public access to functional, beautiful, natural open spaces; and that civic engagement in community planning is a vital path to a successful municipal future.
