Representative James Nolan on Westchester County Airport

By James Nolan, Westchester County Legislator, District 15

May 17, 2022: The Board of Legislators fully supports County Executive George Latimer’s reintroduction of a community engagement program, On the Horizon, to hear from the public on the future of Westchester County Airport.

In February 2020, the County Executive first launched the program to support the Master Plan Supplement for the Airport. The COVID-19 pandemic put the project on hold for more than two years, but the County Executive is once again opening up a County-wide discussion to listen to the concerns of residents, community organizations, the business community, environmental activists and more.  The goal is to engage all Airport stakeholders and incorporate their input into the vision for the future of Westchester County Airport.

On the Horizon includes a series of public events like Town Halls, and the Master Plan Supplement will focus on an analysis of the physical condition of the Airport property, buildings and infrastructure, additional analysis of noise and environmental impacts, and the local and regional economic impact.

Town Halls are scheduled for:

May 24 at 6pm at Elizabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University, 78 North Broadway, White Plains

June 2 at 6pm at Manhattanville College, 2900 Purchase Street, Purchase

June 9 at 6pm at Mercy College, 555 Broadway, Dobbs Ferry

Attend one or more or submit comments via email to: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

I encourage you to participate in one or more of the County Executive’s Town Halls on May 24, June 2 or June 9, and to provide input as this process unfolds.

Bronxville Overview

Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.

While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.

Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.

The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
