Residents push for renaming of Trump Plaza to disassociate from ex-president

Tenants of the high-rise in New Rochelle, New York, want to abandon the name which has at times affected real estate value

Residents at Trump Plaza, a 40-story high-rise in the suburban New York city of New Rochelle, are pushing for the building to be renamed and to escape a near-two decade association with the legally-troubled ex-president and real estate mogul.
