Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Last week, Public Works & Transportation Committee held a public listening session regarding the Westchester Joint Waterworks land swap with the County. As a member of the committee, I think it’s important to share that while this public listening session was not mandated, it was important for us at the BOL to have this meeting to hear from residents all over Westchester, in particular those residents whose communities are directly impacted. I want to say thank you to each and every person who responded, be it in person or not – we received hundreds of correspondence from residents in favor of the land swap, including various organizations and labor unions – we had dozens who opposed the swap. Rest assured, all your comments are appreciated and your voices heard. My colleagues and I will keep you all in mind as we work together to make the best decision regarding this matter.
As you know, the month of February is the shortest of them all and as you can imagine, there are a lot of activities happening this month. I want to remind you all to please take a look at the upcoming events below, and hopefully I will see you this Friday for the Black History Month event that I am hosting along with Councilwoman Robinson and Yonkers Arts. On another note, while my office is always open and available to you, please note that I will be in Albany for my first New York State Association of Counties Legislative Conference from February 26 – 28, 2024. If there is anything you need while I am away, please do not hesitate to reach out nonetheless.
Sincerely,
Honorable Shanae V. Williams
Legislator, 16th District
