Westchester board OKs building purchase

Posted by: Liz Anderson - Posted in Westchester Board of Legislators, Westchester County on Jul 09, 2008

The Westchester County Board of Legislators last night finally approved the purchase of 450 Saw Mill River Road in Greenburgh, a vacant warehouse that will be converted into space to store the county’s voting machines as well as a new public safety headquarters.
The vote was 12-4 in favor of aquiring the building. The purchase of the building – owned by a major Democratic donor – has been under consideration for well over a year, but the plans for its use have varied as the Spano administration has worked to find a way to seal the deal.

Also last night, the board set a public hearing on a proposed  law that would ban the sale in of cough syrup containing Dextromethorphan (DXM) to minors.  The hearing is set for Aug. 11 at 7:30 p.m.
