Yonkers Insider: Westchester County Legislator Shanae Williams 16th District: District 16 Update: May 17, 2024.

Dear Friends and Neighbors, 

I was honored to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the opening of One Pier Steakhouse on Friday, May 10th. Located at the former site of Dolphin Restaurant, 1 Van Der Donck Street in Yonkers, this event marked a significant moment for our community. On behalf of the residents of District 16 and the Westchester County Board of Legislators, I extend my best wishes to Jimmy Rugova and his family for their new venture.

Looking ahead, please join us on Monday, May 20th, before our regular board meeting, as we observe Jewish-American Heritage Month. This special event will be streaming live from the BOL Chamber at 7 p.m. We are proud to be recognizing an outstanding institution, the Holocaust and Human Rights Education Center (HHREC), and to honor an outstanding individual, Jill Ratner, M.D., a healthcare advocate and humanitarian. 

In addition to the regular board meeting, four public hearings will be held on:

1. A Local Law amending Chapter 780 of the Laws of Westchester County relating to the requirement that the County receive prior written notice of a defective condition to maintain a civil action.
2. A Local Law authorizing the County of Westchester to amend the lease agreement with Port Chester Gateway LLC, in order to extend the term of the lease for an additional five (5) years.
3. A Local Law authorizing the County of Westchester to exempt from taxation, Indian Point Energy Center, in accordance with the provisions of Section 485 of the New York Real Property Tax Law.
