White Plains, NY —The former Centennial Hose Fire Station site, a 2.3-acre parcel of land, has a rich history that dates back to 1927, when it was initially acquired by the County from the City of Peekskill.

Please join the WCBOL virtually or in person for a Public Listening Session in connection with a request by Westchester Joint Water Works for County approval of a land exchange transaction for the construction of a filtration plant which is necessary to comply with safe drinking water requirements pursuant to New York State and Federal laws.

We are extremely distressed to learn that two local Jewish-owned businesses were the targets of anti-Semitic vandalism. Anti-Semitism is not new, but recently, it has increased in frequency and intensity. In Westchester, we take pride in our diversity and inclusivity, and we firmly believe that hate has no home here. Today and always, the Westchester County Board of Legislators stands in solidarity with our Jewish community.
