“Our Downtown. We are all proud of our charming downtown, and it would be even more vibrant if our local businesses had foot traffic not just from more visitors, but from more residents too. We can have sensitive zoning that encourages smaller apartments within walking distance of those stores, allowing people to downsize if they wish and remain in Hastings near their friends and family. This will help Hastings become more affordable, and that has always been important to me.”

Housing & Urban Development

“In the short term, I see MacEachron Park rebuilt, with better amenities and higher so it is less prone to flooding. In the medium term, I see the cleanup of BP ARCO’s property beginning, as well as a new bridge across the tracks reconnecting the two clean southern parcels to the Village.”

“Thriving Parks. I also care about getting more people back into our parks. They’re a great way to move our kids off their screens and back outside. More investment in our parks is a clear path to attract them there. Investment in beautiful places for all ages to enjoy and native habitat for all species to flourish will also draw more people to our Village.”

Plans to rebuild MacEachron Park with improved amenities and elevation to reduce flood risk.

Advocates increased investment in parks to encourage outdoor recreation and support native habitat.

Voted against opting out of allowing adult-use cannabis dispensaries in Hastings-on-Hudson.

The article describes the local adult-use cannabis debate and states that challengers were “challenging the two trustees—Georgia Lopez and Morgen Fleisig—who voted not to opt out and who were up for reelection.” It later reports, “Fleisig and Lopez, for their parts, leaned on their status as incumbents already involved with multiple projects in the village. They held their ground on their votes for a dispensary.”

On Cannabis Opt-Out, Towns Search Their Souls

Commits to ensuring that police, fire, and other village departments have the tools and support needed to succeed.

“Other projects include co-leading the Village's James Street traffic study, serving as liaison to Westchester County for the Farragut Avenue redesign, and various local zoning revisions. Morgen seeks smart growth solutions that maintain Hastings' local character, and is committed to ensuring that the Police, Fire, and all Village departments have the tools and support they need to succeed.”

“As Trustee, I’ve proudly worked with the Mayor and Board across all levels of government to get things done for Hastings—coordinating with our neighboring sister Villages to curb and repave our streets, with the County on Farragut and Warburton Avenues, with the State DEC on our Waterfront and MacEachron Park, and with our State DOT on rebuilding Ravensdale Bridge as well as planning long-overdue improvements to Broadway.”

FLEISIG FOR HASTINGS - OUR SCHOOLS

“A Village Trustee since 2019, Morgen Fleisig approaches each issue with the core principle that we should leave the world better than we found it. Exemplifying this approach was his work with New York State to see that the reconstructed Ravensdale Bridge would become an appealing gateway for the Village, with upgraded architectural details, landscaping, and restored access to the South County Trailway.”

As a Village Trustee, coordinated street repaving and road, bridge, waterfront, and park projects with neighboring villages and county and state agencies.

Transportation & Infrastructure

“This will help Hastings become more affordable, and that has always been important to me: I’m proud to have served in an administration that has held the line on taxes, and as your Mayor I intend to continue keeping my eye on our fiscal stewardship.”

“I’m answering that call when I work to help prepare our Village for the changing climate: maintaining and modernizing our streets and culverts, keeping stormwater where it belongs—in our parks where it’s nourishing our native plants, not flooding our homes. Hastings needs 21st-century infrastructure – let’s fix what’s broken and prepare for the changes we know are coming.”

“In the short term, I see MacEachron Park rebuilt, with better amenities and higher so it is less prone to flooding. In the medium term, I see the cleanup of BP ARCO’s property beginning, as well as a new bridge across the tracks reconnecting the two clean southern parcels to the Village. Redevelopment could begin there sooner, and in the long term, I see the redevelopment of BP ARCO’s property as well, all preserving our views of the Palisades and the New York skyline, with new parks inviting us down to the River.”

Calls for passage of the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act, including a 50% reduction in single-use packaging and reuse and refill requirements.

The letter is signed, “Morgen, Fleisig, Trustee, Village of Hastings on Hudson.” The signatories urged Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins to pass the strongest Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act possible and reduce single-use plastic packaging by 50%, without loopholes for large companies. The signed letter states: “While we appreciate the provision of the bill that puts new fees on single-use packaging, the most significant taxpayer savings will come from the 50% reduction requirement. This will mean less packaging to pick up in diesel trucks and less packaging that will be charged a tipping fee at the Peekskill incinerator. We have all heard the refrain ‘reduce, reuse, recycle.’ This bill will require reuse and refill, which is much more important than recycling since most plastics are not designed to be recycled.”
