To that end, New York State will be hosting a listening tour stop at the Westchester County Center on Tuesday, August 15, at 1 p.m. To learn more and pre-register for the event, visit www.ny.gov/bondact.
During last year’s statewide referendum on the Environmental Bond Act, Westchester County voters overwhelmingly supported the measure. Prior to the vote, Westchester County Executive George Latimer released a short video, with the assistance of Westchester residents, urging voters to remember to “flip it over” and have their voice heard on this important issue.
