ARCH proposes to purchase the Immaculate Conception Church property on Depeyster Street in North Tarrytown for the construction of six residential units under the site plan approved by the Village of North Tarrytown in April of 1990. The units will be offered for sale to moderate income residents of the Tarry towns. The purchase is contingent upon receipt by ARCH of $330,000 in public and private funding. ARCH is now applying for the following public and private grants: New York State Grants Affordable Homeownership Development Grant Infrastructure Demonstration Development Grant $150,000 30,000 Other Grants Junior League of Westchester-on-Hudson CARCH already has received $25,000 from the Junior League) United Way - New Programs Joyce-Mertz-GiImore Foundation Fred L.
