WPCNR West Side Story. From David Maloney, The Mayor's Office. May 4, 2006: The White Plains Housing Authority announced today that they will open the new Resident Resource Center and Administration Building at a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Monday, May 15, 2006 at 10am. Guest speakers will include the White Plains Mayor Joseph M. Delfino, Congresswomen Nita Lowey, Mr. Michael Divney, former member of the Board, and Ms. Patricia Diggs, Chairperson of the Residents Council.

The new administration building was originally designed by Mr. Bernard Arnold, a well- known and respected architect in White Plains and the Hudson Valley. A memorial plaque will be dedicated in memory of Mr. Arnold.

Mr. Lawrence C. Salley, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners, said “this project could not be completed if not for the cooperation and support of the Mayor, Common Council Members, the White Plains Housing Authority, its residents, and local community groups.”

The new headquarters of the Housing Authority will provide the public with access to management in a professional environment where the business of property management, building and contract services are conducted. The resident resource center will provide an array of educational and support services for the residents. For the children, a new computer learning center and arts and crafts room has been designed.  Access to computers for adults, classrooms, a large all-purpose room with an adjacent kitchen for children and adult activities are also included in the new center.

The Board of Commissioners and Management are proud of this accomplishment and look forward to many more significant improvements at the White Plains Housing Authority.

Refreshments will be generously provided by White Plains Hospital Center.
