Fire District Election
Tomorrow, the 3 Professional Fire Departments in Greenburgh(Fairview, Greenville, Hartsdale) are having their annual election for Board seats. If you live in Unincorporated Greenburgh you probably live in one of these 3 districts but some residents live in Fire Protection Districts. You can only vote if you live in the actual Fire District. Each of the Fire Districts operate independently and have their own borders, tax rates and 5 person governing board. You pay taxes and get to vote, only for the district you live in. Those board members serve 5 year terms that have 1 seat coming due each year with an election in December. Each of the 3 elections this year has only 1 candidate on the ballot, write in votes are permitted.
Anthony Frasca for Hartsdale.
James Robinson for Fairview.
Jonathan Faust for Greenville.
Voting Hours and locations are different for each District
Hartsdale: Fire Station on W. Hartsdale Ave from 3-9pm.
Greenville: Greenville Fire HQ on Central Ave from 6-9m.
Fairview will be at two different locations (Fairview Fire HQ for ED 41, 44,-48, 63,64,67, and 78 and Fairview Fire Station #2 for ED 42,50,51, 61 and 77) between 4-9pm.
Make sure to vote and it becomes a habit!
Greenburgh Update
The second and likely final public hearing on the 2021 budget is Wednesday at the virtual Town Board meeting. The meeting will begin with a moment of silence for Covid 19 victims at 7:30 and will also have a second public hearing regarding the proposed battery storage unit proposal at Knollwood CC.
Here is an article about the budget from the Scarsdale Inquirer that I am quoted in. I think its a good summary.
I will have a final update before the end of the year. Until then, be well.
