Bronxville Village Board of Trustees November Meeting: Update from Amy Paulin, Recent & Upcoming Events and Other Items

By Staff

Nov. 25, 2025: The Village of Bronxville Board of Trustees met on November 10th. Below are highlights from that meeting.

Update From Amy Paulin: Challenging State Budget, Vaccine Access, Medicaid Changes

Amy Paulin, Assembly Member from the 88th District, which includes Bronxville, spoke at the meeting. Mayor Marvin described Paulin as the “most responsive, most effective, and most importantly for me, most principled person who has represented us.”

Below are some of Paulin’s comments:

-Bronxville has had an impact on the State and County. For example, Bronxville had an impact on State legislation when it sought to change the speed limit on local roads.

-The Governor will introduce the budget in the third week of January. We anticipate a challenging budget due to the expected healthcare cuts at the federal level. This will have a big impact.

Paulin says that she has been able to pass many bills in the last few years, and that this is the time of year when she develops bills.

Trustee Knapp asked Paulin what she’s thinking about for bills now.

Paulin is the Healthcare Chair. She said they are looking at uncertainty related to vaccines. She said the requirements for vaccines could change, such as requiring a prescription. Some states enable pharmacists to prescribe. They are looking at what New York State should do to ensure people have access to vaccines that they want and can get them safely.

Mayor Marvin asked about the use of E-bikes, which have outpaced the legislation. She said this is an area that is affecting villages like Bronxville. Paulin said she will look and see what they have done and what needs to be done.

Trustee Fredericks said that Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins anticipates an 8% cut in County government. He asked Paulin is she thought this was a good estimate of what might happen at the State level.

Paulin said that they don’t know at this time. She said that the State is going to put a work requirement on Medicaid. She said that people could fall off when this happens, and more people will be uninsured and end up in city hospitals. She said that they just don’t know at this time.

Mayor Marvin asked about the status of a bill that lets religious organizations be exempt from taxes. Paulin said that she hasn’t seen that bill advance as yet.

Fredericks thanked Paulin for all the help she has offered to Bronxville over the years.

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.
