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.

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.
