WPCNR COVID DAILY. By John F. Bailey. June 5, 2022:

The Daily Voice (https://dailyvoice.com/new-york/nassau/news/covid-19-cdc-now-recommends-wearing-masks-indoors-in-these-16-ny-counties/834205/ reported this morning on its website that the Center for Disease Control has returned to recommending masks be worn indoors in the Mid-Hudson Counties of Westchester, Orange, Putnam, and Sullivan Counties and Nassau and Suffolk Counties.

Westchester County averaged 370 new cases of Covid a day the last 7 days, more than double the next most covid-infectious county, Orange which averaged 124. Sullivan County averaged 28 and Putnam, 29. For the record Rockland

Nassau County and Suffolk Counties on Long Island have been consistently the most covid-infectious areas in the New York area. Over the last 7 days according to the New York Covid-19 tracker, Nassau County has averaged 605 a day for its population of 1,355,090 and Suffolk averaged 597 a day from its 1,525,290 population.

On Friday, June 3, Nassau reported 693 new covid cases. Suffolk reported 659 new covid positives.

For the record, WPCNR extrapolated what the daily number of average infections average per 100,000 of population added up to in a week in the 9 surrounding counties, as of last Monday. The moving 7-day avg infections has to be multiplied by the number of 100,000 increments in each county population to produce the average numnber of covid new infections in a week.

The upshot is the number of infections per 100,000 is not a true indicator of the number of cases a week unless the aggregate amount of cases if accumulated by multiplying whatever aggregates of 100,000 make up each county total population.

Last week due to marked decreased tests administered appears to have severely understand the rate of spread on the disease in Westchester County.

BILL ON TAXING NEW YORK STATE NEW CONDOS AT FULL ASSESSED VALUE BUILT AFTER JAN 1,2023 AWAITS GOVERNOR HOCHUL’S SIGNATURE. WILL AFFECT ALL TOWNS, CITIES IN STATE AND INCREASE HOPEFULLY PROPERTY TAX REVENUES IN WESTCHESTER & ACROSS THE STATE.

WPCNR REALTY REALITY. Special to WPCNR from Paul Feiner, Greenburgh Town Supervisor. June 4, 2022:

Late this week the New York State Senate and New York State Assembly approved legislation sponsored by Senator Andrea Stewart Cousins and Assemblyman Tom Abinanti that will generate additional revenue for Greenburgh, towns, cities and villages throughout NYS and help us and municipal governments with our economic development initiatives.

The Greenburgh Town Board has been pushing for years authorizing a Greenburgh only and a state-wide bill that will assess condos and coops built after January 1, 2023 their full assessed value. The legislation now awaits the signature of Governor Kathy Hochul. The Assessors Association has been trying to get this legislation approved for decades.

The legislation that was approved will not impact existing condos or coops. They will continue to be assessed at the commercial values–which is less than single family homes are assessed. The new law only impacts new construction.

The Greenburgh Town Board had a special meeting on Tuesday and voted to support the home rule Greenburgh only legislation. We did not think the state wide bill would be approved –it was a last minute surprise. Voting in favor of the resolution: Councilmembers Francis Sheehan, Gina Jackson, Ken Jones and myself. Councilwoman Ellen Hendrickx abstained.

Members of the Town Board who voted yes feel that the legislation will help us maximize the taxes we get on mixed use development and on future developments in the future. For example, if a developer wants to build mixed use housing at the Four Corners in Hartsdale, on Central Ave — the new developments will be assessed and taxed at residential dollars. A state wide law is better than only a Greenburgh law because all new condos and coops in the state will be treated the same manner. We have lots of potential land use development in our town so this law is very helpful.

The Town Board has committed to only approve single family homes at the former Elmwood development and previously indicated that we will not support townhouses (condos) at that site. 113 single family homes will be authorized at that location.

(Editor’s Note: The Governor has not yet signed the bill.)
