From the Office of Amy Paulin, Assemblymember, District 88, New York State Assembly


Editor's note:  Assemblymember Amy Paulin represents the 88th New York State Assembly District, which includes Scarsdale, Eastchester, Tuckahoe, Bronxville, Pelham, Pelham Manor, and parts of New Rochelle and White Plains.

May 30, 2018:  Assemblywoman Amy Paulin (D-Scarsdale) announced that she participated in a public hearing on Tuesday, May 29, in White Plains to examine the response of utilities to the winter snowstorms in the Hudson Valley.

The hearing had been jointly called by the Assembly Committee on Corporations, Authorities, and Commissions, which Paulin chairs, and the Assembly Committee on Energy, chaired by Michael Cusick.

The committees heard from utilities, including Con Edison and the New York State Electric and Gas Corporation (NYSEG), which serve the region on storm-related operational and infrastructure investments and their response and preparation for such emergency events.

The committees also heard from the Public Service Commission, the state regulatory body that has conducted its own review of storm response over the previous two months. 

The committees will evaluate the adequacy of such utilities’ emergency response plans and will explore potential measures and actions that could be implemented to improve communication and restore power rapidly in the wake of similar storms in the future.

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.
