White Plains, NY — At their first Board meeting since the reorganization, the Board of Legislators voted (unanimously) to pass Land Acquisition Acts to authorize the purchase and subsequent conveyance of property to support the construction of affordable senior rental housing units. This initiative is part of the County's program to support the construction of affordable housing units that affirmatively further fair housing (Affordable AFFH Units) throughout Westchester.

White Plains, NY — The Westchester County Board of Legislators began the 2024-2025 term on Monday night, unanimously re-electing Legislator Vedat Gashi (D- Ossining, New Castle, Somers, Yorktown) as Chair, and electing Legislator Jose I. Alvarado (D - Yonkers) as Vice Chair.

Members of The Westchester County Board of Legislators are deeply disturbed by the recent reports of antisemitic behavior directed at the Leffell School’s girl basketball team by members of Yonkers Roosevelt High School’s girl basketball team. Antisemitism and bigotry in all its forms are never acceptable. We applaud the actions taken to date by both schools, and we support County Executive Latimer’s call for an investigation by the County’s Human Rights Commission. The Board reiterates its commitment to Westchester County’s diversity and to our youth; we will not tolerate hate in any form.
