About Port Chester, NY:
Port Chester has many Latino immigrants, in contrast to surrounding towns, such as Rye, Harrison, Mamaroneck, and especially Greenwich, Connecticut which are known for high-income Caucasian populations. Greenwich, which directly borders Port Chester to the east, is one of the wealthiest municipalities in the United States. Mostly thanks to blue-collar business, Port Chester has become a commercial center in recent years. Business grew rapidly with the opening of a Costco branch and "The Waterfront", a large shopping center and movie theater on Main Street and Westchester Avenue. The Waterfront Complex has been in the works since 1982, when the Industrial Development Agency (IDA) began planning for the redevelopment of this area. The IDA was formed in the early 1970s by then Mayor, Joseph Dzaluk. Unfortunately for Port Chester's economy, the development of the downtown area would not take place for almost another 20 years.
