Congressman and County Executive Address Village BoardAt its April 22 Business Meeting, the Village Board of Trustees welcomed two special guests: U.S. Congressman George Latimer and Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins. Both officials addressed how developments at the federal level could affect Westchester County and its local municipalities, including Scarsdale. County Executive Jenkins stated that $700 million of the County’s proposed $2.5 billion budget is funded through federal aid, and that efforts are underway to maintain this funding given current uncertainties at the federal level. Congressman Latimer requested that Village officials compile a list of Scarsdale budget areas potentially affected by federal funding changes, noting it would support his advocacy efforts in Washington.

Parking is available on Glendale Road—follow the path to the footbridge and cross to reach the site. This marks the last session until fall, as foliage will soon make vines harder to spot. Removing invasive vines is essential to protect trees from being smothered and girdled. Participants will learn how to identify and safely remove these destructive plants. Please wear gloves, long sleeves, sturdy shoes, and eye protection, and bring loppers or pruning shears if available. To RSVP, contact Elaine Weir at elaine.weir.sherman@gmail.com. |
