Under the plan, the county will acquire the land at 14 LeCount Place where developer Wilder Balter Partners is planning a 27-story, 379-unit development, 76 units of which will be affordable housing for people making around half the area median income. Legislator Terry Clements (D – New Rochelle, Pelham, Pelham Manor) said, “Expanding affordable housing is one of the most important things we can do to make Westchester more livable and sustainable. This location is ideal, with easy access to transportation, shopping, and entertainment. I’m excited to be able to support developments like this one, so residents of all incomes can continue to call Westchester home.”

The Westchester County Board of Legislators strengthened housing protections and public safety for residents at its meeting on Monday, August 4, 2025. In three significant votes, the Board secured long-term affordability for more than 160 apartments in Sleepy Hollow, authorized $6.6 million in critical security upgrades at the Westchester County Department of Correction, and enhanced mutual aid agreements to support 29 local police departments during critical emergencies. The Board voted to invest $6.6 million to replace outdated security systems at the Westchester County Department of Correction in Valhalla, significantly improving safety for both correctional staff and detainees. The state-of-the-art emergency alert systems will provide real-time monitoring capabilities, faster emergency response times, more reliable communication during security rounds, continuous security coverage throughout all housing units, and immediate alerts to the Main Control Center when staff are in distress. Majority Whip Terry Clements (D- New Rochelle, Pelham, Pelham Manor), Chair of the Board’s Public Safety Committee, said, “I strongly support modernizing our correctional facility’s safety systems. Upgrading these tools will help officers do their jobs and will create a safer environment for both staff and facility residents.”

Board Protects Affordable Housing and Strengthens Safety for Local Communities, Law Enforcement Officers

Under the Stop Arm Law Amendment, the Board voted unanimously for a Local Law amending Chapter 705 to implement a demonstration program imposing liability on vehicle owners who fail to stop for school buses displaying a red visual signal and stop-arm when picking up or discharging students. The measure expands enforcement tools and requires recorded evidence to include an electronic indicator showing that the flashing red signal lamps were active. Majority Whip Legislator Terry Clements (D- New Rochelle, Pelham, Pelham Manor) Public Safety Committee Chair said, “As an educator, as well as in my role as Chair of Public Safety, nothing is more important to me than the safety of Westchester’s schoolchildren. With driver inattentiveness on the rise, children and their parents need to feel confident that when traveling by school bus, we will do everything in our power to ensure their safe journey to and from school.
Reckless drivers who refuse to obey the law by stopping for a bus when the stop arm is extended need to be identified and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”

On Monday, the Board of Legislators unanimously passed a resolution declaring a climate emergency in Westchester County. The resolution cites the catastrophic global and local impacts of climate change, including devastating flooding from extreme weather, as well as many of the recent steps that County government has taken to reduce the county's carbon footprint -- including replacing fossil fuel buses and fleet vehicles with hybrid and electric ones, supporting food scrap recycling, installation of electric vehicle charging stations, and more. Most importantly, the resolution pledges a revised Westchester Climate Action Plan with new recommended action steps, and an effort at the County level to support action at the local, state and national level to address this life-threatening emergency. Leg. Terry Clements (D - Pelham, Pelham Manor, New Rochelle), chair of the Boards Intergovernmental Services Committee, said, "Stemming the tide of the climate crisis requires action at all levels of government, County, state, federal and local. In declaring a climate emergency, we're joining other governments that have already done so -- like the city of New Rochelle -- and putting on record our commitment not just to talk about it but to do something about it."
