WPCNR'S THE FEINER REPORT. By Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner. March 13, 2004: I am pleased to invite Greenburgh residents to a work session meeting of the Town Board on Tuesday afternoon around 5:30 PM (we have a big work session agenda so it’s possible that the time could be delayed a bit).
Representatives of the Library Board met with the Library architect on Friday afternoon to review the progress of the library expansion efforts. They were satisfied that the progress is at a point that the plan can be presented to the public for discussion and review. Because of the importance of this initial presentation I will ask George Malone, cable TV access coordinator, to televise this portion of the work session which will be held in the auditorium at the Town Hall, 177 Hillside Ave.
ON Wednesday, March 24th the Greenburgh Town Board will hear a more formal power point presentation by Todd Harvey, Library Architect. He will also discuss the project and be available to answer questions.
We also will post the conceptual drawings on our town web site (www.greenburghny.com) and will ask that the drawings be provided to us in digitial format as soon as possible so you, the public, can view the information at home from your computer.
I want to thank the Library Board for all their hard working highlighting the need for a library expansion. They’ve been carefully reviewing all the options available to come up with solid recommendations for the best possible development of this site.
We also invite you to join a group of citizens working to reach out to private foundations/donors/benefactors who could help raise some private donations to offset the costs of this important expansion initiative. Contact me: pfeiner@greenburgh.com if you have any private donation/foundation tips that could be followed up.
On another matter—on March 24th the Greenburgh Town Board will hold our next evening meeting at Town Hall, 177 Hillside Ave at 7:15 PM. At that time it is possible that the Town Board may authorize the commencement of negotiations with Sunrise Assisted Living to determine whether we should sell the old Town Hall to Sunrise. The sale of the old Town Hall is contingent on the support by the Library Board and the determination that the property housing the property is surplus land, not needed by the library.
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY TO RENOVATE ABANDONED HOUSE AT TAXTER RIDGE PARK---I am pleased to report that Habitat for Humanity will be renovating the abandoned house at Greenburgh’s newest park, Taxter Ridge. A town employee will be provided with the opportunity to reside in an affordable home once the work is complete. IT would have been a crime to take an abandoned house and to demolish it!
Any questions about the town? Call me at 993 l540 or home: 478-1219.

Note: WPNCR is pleased to present for our Greenburgh neighbors, the weekly update from their Town Supervisor Paul Feiner on what their government is doing.
