11/08/2025

On Monday night at 7 PM the town of Greenburgh will sponsor another community meeting relating to the proposed rezoning of the 4 corners in Hartsdale (West and East Hartsdale Ave, Central Ave). Link below. We are hoping to allow mixed use development- some retail and residential. Hope to see you Monday night.

Sustainable Westchester has informed us that the Westchester Power renewable energy program will be discontinued at the end of this year. This decision results from practical implementation challenges associated with recently-adopted State outreach and education mandates. Sustainable Westchester has concluded that these regulatory requirements cannot be met on a schedule consistent with the program’s continued operation.

Starting with this December’s utility bill, customers who take no action will be returned to [Con Edison/NYSEG] as their default supplier of electricity.

As an alternative, customers may select another Energy Services Company (“ESCO”) for electricity supply. A list of currently active suppliers can be found at:

For Con Edison:

Greenburgh remains committed to working with Sustainable Westchester to accelerate a transition to clean power, promote energy efficiency, reduce costs, and improve resiliency.

For questions about the Westchester Power program or to learn more about Sustainable Westchester’s wide-ranging services, please email info@sustainablewestchester.org or call 914-242-4725 x.128

In recent years I have provided residents with monthly updates comparing Westchester Power rates with Con Ed's.

Greenburgh Town Hall Formula Initiative

Due to concerns about families losing benefits due to federal government policies and the current shutdown - we need you to help feed babies, Greenburgh Town Hall is restarting the Formula Initiative, first launched during the pandemic formula shortage. We are working with the founders of the Formula Initiatives trying to help new parents.

If you have unexpired, sealed baby formula or baby food (including samples), please drop them off in the collection bin located in the Town Hall lobby. The Town Hall is located at 177 Hillside Ave.

If you need formula, you’re welcome to take what you need. We’ll post periodic updates with photos of available items.

Thank you for supporting our community!

Video- of No Kings Rally highlights from Westchester Business Journal
WE need to agree to disagree -and to respect other people's views. That's what democracy is about.
We don't need to insult, condemn, arrest, ridicule our critics.
Don't be afraid to speak out when you disagree with national, state, county or local officials.

A No Kings rally at the Greenburgh Town Hall on Oct. 18 was one of several in Westchester. Video by Peter Katz.

PROPOSING A FIRST AMENDMENT WALKWAY AT GREENBURGH TOWN HALL TO HONOR ---OUR CRITICS AND ACTIVISTS WHO DISAGREE
On Saturday morning I will attend the No Kings rally at Greenburgh Town Hall at 9-10 AM sponsored by Central Westchester Indivisible -an event being held in communities all over the nation to highlight the fact that power belongs to the people.

At the rally I will formally announce plans to introduce a resolution before the Greenburgh Town Board creating a First Amendment walkway at Greenburgh Town Hall---honoring our critics, the political activists who take the time to provoke and challenge our decisions at most Town Board meetings. I envision highlighting the names of the first amendment activists along the walkway---an opportunity to honor them.

The activists, who I believe should be honored, are an important part of our democracy. They keep the government in check. Through protests, public speeches at Town Board meetings or on social media - they hold elected officials accountable for our decisions.

It's important in a democratic society to have debate. The activists sometimes make elected officials uncomfortable. They frequently highlight points that otherwise would be ignored. They create controversy (which most elected officials don't like) and force us to reexamine complex proposed laws and decisions that might remain unexamined.

In the history of democracy - the actions of activists frequently help shift public opinion. We need healthy dissent - where people can disagree with government, protest peacefully and have concerns heard. The activists help pushback against authoritarianism or corruption. We must respect each others right to disagree with each other.

In recent weeks we have witnessed the indictment by the Justice Department of James Comey, former FBI Director who has been critical of President Trump; NYS Attorney General Letitia James, who brought civil cases against Trump; John Bolton, former National Security Advisor and vocal Trump critic; ICE arrested over 14 NYC elected officials at immigration court sit in.

What I'm hoping to do is to contrast what is happening in Washington (arresting critics of the President) with what I hope Greenburgh will do--honoring our critics. Democracy depends on our critics not being afraid to speak out.

No flooding reported from storm. We were prepared to address flooding in Fulton Park by testing out a pump…
On Saturday, the town of Greenburgh public works department distributed over 1,000 sandbags to residents who were worried about the anticipated Nor’Easter.
I spoke with the Commissioner of Public Works, Rich Fon and the police department and was advised that there were no reports of flooding around the town.
Although the Nor’Easter was not as bad as anticipated we have been preparing as best as we can. One initiative: we had placed a pump in the Fulton Park neighborhood. We have been doing extensive work removing obstructions around Manhattan Brook. Hopefully, the work we did will help reduce flooding the next time there is a major storm.
As part of our ongoing efforts to address chronic flooding issues in the Town of Greenburgh, the Town has recently purchased two large emergency pumps to assist in areas that experience excessive stormwater accumulation during major weather events.

Unlike the Fire Department, which may pump water out of homes in certain emergencies, the purpose of these pumps is to move stormwater from flood-prone areas and discharge it beyond the point of restriction—essentially bypassing the bottleneck that causes localized flooding.

In the case of Fulton Park, the flooding challenges are compounded by a 48-inch gravity-fed aqueduct that runs through the backyards of several homes off Old Kensico Road. The berms in these backyards, originally placed to contain the water aqueduct, now act as a barrier preventing water from flowing freely and essentially creating a pooling effect during heavy storms.

The culvert under the bridge in this area is actually the channel for this aqueduct. During an emergency, we will be prepared to deploy one of the new pumps at a strategic location in the neighborhood. The goal will be to pump water from the flooded area into the adjacent Westchester County parkland, helping to alleviate rising water levels within Fulton Park itself.

We are hopeful that this equipment in some situations will make a measurable difference in our flood response, especially during future storm events.

A progress report: Greenburgh's efforts to address flooding around town
Flooding has existed in Greenburgh and throughout Westchester for decades. The Greenburgh Town Board, in recent years, has appropriated millions of dollars trying to help reduce flooding around town. We need hundreds of millions of dollars of additional funding to make a significant impact in the fight to reduce flooding. Every year we will do more work throughout the town. We are also seeking grants to help us do more. But- even if we do everything we can we still won’t be able to prevent flooding in certain neighborhoods that are located in areas that get flooded frequently. We can reduce flooding. We’re getting super storms more frequently than ever. And our drainage systems weren’t designed for the storms that are taking place now.

As you are aware, the severe storm of July 14th required us to adjust our priorities and focus resources on emergency response. Since then, we have been aggressively cleaning out the Manhattan Brook to mitigate the risk of further flooding. In addition, we continue to coordinate with Westchester County on broader efforts to address drainage conditions affecting the Fulton Park and Old Kensico areas. We have been removing obstructions and also have been encouraging the county to work with the town on an annual maintenance -obstruction removal plan. In late August the Town Board met with residents of Gibson Ave to discuss the flooding problems that residents experienced. A link to the Town Board meeting is below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJjn8pD2xtI

Over a week ago we met with county and state officials and discussed initiatives the town can take with the village of Elmsford to reduce flooding in N Elmsford. Among the suggestions (besides removing obstructions) is removing a bridge that contributes to flooding.. That requires NYS approval. We’re working with Senator Cousins, Assemblywoman Shimsky and Legislator Imamura to obtain permission to accomplish that. On October 8th I met with the Governor's regional representative to discuss (among other issues) removal of the bridge. The Commissioner of Public Works, Planning and Town Engineer also participated in the meeting.

This is a link to a NYS DEC report published earlier this year with suggestions that could address flooding problems near the Saw Mill River. If NYS would give us permission we would remove obstructions from the river annually. This is a link to a NYS DEC report with recommendations:

We have a limited number of town employees and limited budgets. And are trying to prioritize work so we can help the maximum number of people. Please be assured that we are committed to moving forward with all planned project.

We appreciate the community’s patience and understanding as we balance emergency response with long-term infrastructure improvements.

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS 4 CORNERS HARTSDALE

The town hopes to rezone the 4 corners in Hartsdale as mixed use development. We recognize that we will need to address flooding in Hartsdale. This is a report with recommendations that we received. We will be looking to create a partnership with NYS, the eventual developers of the 4 corners and the town -coming up with the funds needed to reduce flooding in this section of town.

A few years back we spent significant resources widening and armored the channel at Troublesome Brook in Edgemont.
