Bronz Not Seeking Reelection to County Board
After serving 16 years on the Westchester County Board of Legislators, including three years as chairman, Legislator Lois Bronz (D/Greenburgh) announced last month she would not be seeking reelection when her current term expires at the end of December.
Bronz, who also served 16 years on the Greenburgh Town Board before being elected as the county’s representative for District 8 in 1994, made dual history in 2002 when she became the first woman and first African-American to lead the Board of Legislators.
A former math teacher in Greenburgh’s public schools, Bronz helped pass landmark legislation at the county level that created the Westchester County Human Rights Commission. During her tenure, the current chairwoman of the board’s Community Services Committee has taken great pride in championing such causes as child abuse, domestic violence, affordable housing and acquiring open space.
Tarrytown In Line for
County Funds
A $1.67 million project in the Village of Tarrytown was one of several chosen by a Westchester County Flood Action Task Force to receive county funding.
County Executive Andrew Spano and Congresswoman Nita Lowey announced last month that a small tributary of the Hudson River in the vicinity of Loh Park, in the neighborhoods of Loh Avenue, Leroy Avenue and Benedict Avenue, would be eligible for partial funding. The village would be responsible for 50% of the costs.
The project would include the installation of stormwater pipes and catch basins, replacement of culverts, enclosure of a section of the tributary with a pipe, construction of a stormwater management pond, and other drainage improvements.
