The Westchester County Board of Legislators unanimously passed a measure tonight that expands access to quality training in the skilled trades, creating a new pathway to well-paying careers.

Starting today, April 20, the Westchester County Board of Legislators has officially moved its website from westchesterlegislators.com to WestchesterLegislatorsNY.gov. This domain transition reflects the Board’s ongoing efforts to strengthen transparency, security, and public confidence.

The Westchester County Board of Legislators today hosted 13 young adults with developmental disabilities for its first mock legislative session designed specifically for them. Participants had the opportunity to debate and vote on public policy in a real-world setting.

Westchester County Legislator Erika L. Pierce (D–Bedford, Lewisboro, Mount Kisco, North Salem, Pound Ridge, Somers) presented $21,600 in County funding to Friends of Karen, a North Salem-based nonprofit that assists families with children facing life-threatening illnesses. Pierce delivered a ceremonial “big check” on behalf of the Board of Legislators, affirming the Board’s commitment to uplift the County’s children and families.
