Been a lot of development of the Yonkers waterfront, and as the city has been changing (when they start talking about Getty Square gentrifying, that is something..my wife lived there more than 40 years ago as kid, it was crappy then, was not much better last time we drove through there), so hopefully this will happen. Would make for a lot of things, be a pretty interesting performance space, also could be used for other things including some kind of retail focused around small shops and such (not a shopping mall, which are dying off at a rapid pace). Old powerplants like this were often built like Cathedrals, there is an abandoned Con Ed plant on the Harlem River near the tip of Manhattan that is like that, kind of creepy surroundings, the water behind it is full of abandoned, sunk and half sunk boats.
