NYS Legislature to vote on tennis bubble proposal this week

To contact us Click HERE
The New York State Legislature is expected to decide this week whether or not to grant the town of Greenburgh permission to lease the tennis courts at Anthony Veteran park to a private operator and to place a tennis bubble at the courts during months when the courts are not used by the public.


If the legislation is approved the town will generate as much as $3 million in revenue during the 15 year lease. In addition, residents who love tennis will have access to tennis facilities during months when the tennis courts are currently not being used. Improvements to the tennis courts will be made by the private company -saving the taxpayers substantial dollars that would have to be spent on infrastructure improvements. Since the courts are located in unincorporated Greenburgh there will be no financial impact to the villages.

The Greenburgh Town Board has made this proposal our top legislative initiative for 2012. State Senator Andrea Stewart Cousins has introduced legislation in the State Senate and State Assemblyman Tom Abinanti has introduced the same proposed law before the State Assembly.

Members of the Town Board have been in constant communication with both lawmakers and we have encouraged our representatives to take advantage of the considerable respect they have among their colleagues and to use their legislative skills to help the town obtain permission to place the bubble at the courts.

The State Senate and State Assembly will adjourn the session at the end of the week. If the proposed law is not approved by both houses before the legislature adjourns, the town will have to wait until 2013 to have the proposal considered again. The wait will cost taxpayers six figures in lost revenue.

POPHAM ROAD BRIDGE STAGE 3 DEMOLITION




The Village of Scarsdale has announced the Popham Road Bridge Stage 3 demolition is scheduled to commence Monday night, June 18, 2012 and continue until the end of July 2012. For safety reasons the demolition work is required to be performed at night between the hours of 9:00 pm and 5:00 am. The demolition work entails removing the last section (middle section) of the existing bridge which includes the concrete deck, concrete abutments, concrete footings and structural steel. The concrete will be removed with the use of drills, jack hammers and backhoes. The noise level will vary in intensity depending on the type of demolition being performed. The Village has directed the contractor, whenever possible, to perform the noisiest work at the beginning part of the night. Stage 3 is the last bridge construction stage while Stage 4 includes finishing punch list and administrative items. The Popham Road Bridge construction is anticipated to be finished by the end of December 2012 with punch list and administration items completed by February 2013.

NICE WORK TOM ABINANTI--THANK YOU FOR BEING A GREAT ADVOCATE FOR GREENBURGH~ Assemblyman Tom Abinanti delivers for Greenburgh. I am very pleased to report that the NYS Assembly approved the proposed law that would allow the town to lease our tennis courts to a private operator. The town could generate $3 million in revenue during the 15 year lease.




The proposed state legislation now has to be voted on by the NYS Senate. I spoke with State Senator Andrea Stewart Cousins a short time ago. She is working hard to persuade her colleagues in the Senate to approve the local law before the Senate recesses on Thursday.



We are very grateful to Assemblyman Abinanti for being an effective advocate for our community --and for working so hard to help the town generate significant revenue from the private sector.
