WPCNR THE LETTER TICKER AUGUST 12

Last Wednesday evening the Greenburgh Town Board held a public hearing on a proposed local law that would provide retroactive tax reductions for those who suffered significant loses after recent Hurricanes/storms.

After Hurricane Ida some residents of Greenburgh lost their homes. The Town Board reacted to the horrible property losses by encouraging the NYS Legislature to approve legislation that authorizes the Assessor to reduce property taxes retroactively. Senator Cousins and Assemblywoman Shimsky helped the town get the state-wide law approved.

The Governor also signed the legislation.

This is a local option -meaning that towns, villages, school districts and the county are not required to reduce property taxes retroactively. But—they can. And—I hope they will. There are Greenburgh residents who are still homeless after Hurricane Ida.

A link to the public hearing discussion is below. The Town Board adjourned the hearing till September. We will reflect on the public comments, may make some modifications to the proposed local law and could vote in the early fall. If the Town Board approves the legislation the tax breaks will only apply to the town portion of the tax bill. Schools, the county and fire districts will have to also vote to implement similar breaks.

Ms. Beth Bricker, Commissioner of Recreation & Parks and Mayor Thomas Roach have provided the following statement:

The Championship game of Ferris World Ball that is scheduled to be played at the County Center this Sunday has been cancelled. While we recognize this will disappoint many, the safety of the public is our priority.

The men’s basketball league over the years has grown into a regional draw outstripping the capacity of Gardella Park and the neighborhood it serves.

Attempts to mitigate the impact including moving the final game to the County Center have not brought relief.

Discussions on discontinuing the league were already underway, Thursday nightsevents have accelerated the process.

The White Plains Department of Public Safety announced 20 shots were fired at the confrontation Thursday evening after the conclusion of that night game in Gardella Park. There were injured.

The investigation continues.

An 18-year-old male, a 21-year-old male, and a 22-year-old female, all from the Bronx, were injured Thursday night, according to police. All three had non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to local hospitals.

The White Plains Police Detective Division is investigating the shootings and is working with the victims, residents, and other law enforcement agencies.
